Dear Mr. Fabiano, Dr. Lee, and Mr. Vrana,
Enclosed is our proposed process design on “Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI)” problem statement provided by Mr. Bruce Vrana of DuPont Engineering Technology. Our focus is to design a high yielding process that is both technologically and economically feasible in producing 99.95% pure TDI from toluene diamine (TDA). The process is made up of two main process blocks – the Reactor System and Separation Process – and achieves the required capacity specified in the problem statement. Included in our consideration is to design an optimal process by recycling reactants, minimizing utility costs, and removing byproducts in an eco‐friendly manner.
The following report details the process, equipment needs and estimated costs, approximated power requirements, and a detailed economic analysis. A complete ASPEN Plus flow sheet is also enclosed for your reference. Due to limited data availability, assumptions relevant to the process design are also discussed and various non‐ and economic sensitivity analyses have also been included.
Finally, we would like to thank Professor Leonard Fabiano, Dr. Daeyeon Lee, Mr. Bruce Vrana, Mr. Steve Tieri, and Mr. Gary Sawyer for the great assistance. Kindly contact the design group if you have any questions regarding any aspect of the report.

Abstract
A Gulf Coast production plant was designed for a phosgene‐free route manufacture of
2,4‐toluene diisocyanate (TDI) from toluene diamine (TDA). The process was designed to
generate 300 million pounds of TDI per year within the required process specifications. Two
reactors were to be installed in order to improve the overall yield of TDI, followed by a series of
three distillation columns to ensure highly pure market competitive product. Safety concerns,
the start‐up process, and other potential considerations are also included.
The results of economic analysis for the base case of the project returned a Net Present
Value (NPV) of $20,653,700 with an initial rate of return (IRR) of 18.05% and a return on
investment (ROI) of 12.03%. Further analysis on the assumptions made in these calculations
may be required before final project approval is granted.

Introduction
TDI are intermediates in the production of polyurethanes and polycarbonates, which
have many useful properties. Polycarbonates are widely used in the manufacture of CD and
DVD discs, while polyurethanes are used in the production of foams, elastomers, and hard
polymers. With the input of Professor Fabiano, who had ample experience in TDI processes, we
were urged to create a process to produce TDI with almost 100% purity.
The following report describes a chemical process for producing virtually 100% pure TDI
without introducing the widely used component, phosgene. Phosgene is a colorless volatile
liquid or gas that is produced by passing purified carbon monoxide and chlorine gas through a
bed of porous activated carbon. It is a valuable industrial reagent and building block in organic
synthesis but is also a highly toxic material. Its leaks have caused several casualties in many
industrial processes.
Phosgene was formerly used as a chemical weapon during World War I. At room
temperature (70°F), phosgene is a poisonous gas. Its gas may appear colorless or as a white to
pale yellow cloud and its odor may not be noticed by all people exposed. Although phosgene
was never as notorious as mustard gas, it is an insidious poison that has killed far more people.
Among the chemicals used in World War I, phosgene was responsible for the large majority of
deaths, about 85% of the 100,000 deaths caused by chemical weapons. Its symptoms may be
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart

slow to be recognized, as phosgene can only be detected at 0.4 ppm, which is four times its
safety Threshold Limit Value.1
Phosgene reacts violently and decomposes to toxic compounds on contact with
moisture, including chlorine, carbon monoxide and carbon tetrachloride. People may be
exposed to phosgene through skin or eye contact, touching or drinking water, breathing air,
and eating contaminated food. Inhalation can cause fatal respiratory damage as phosgene
reacts heavily with HCl that is released in its reaction with water in the lungs. It can also cause
damage to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Today, gaseous phosgene has increasingly
been supplanted by more easily handled reagents. This is why it was extremely important to
remove Phosgene as a reactant in our TDI production process.1
We were charged with creating an economically feasible and environmentally friendly
process design for producing 300 million pounds of TDI per year in high yield from toluene
diamine (TDA). It was our goal to create a design that recycled the majority of unreacted
starting materials as well as disposed any waste material in an economical and eco‐friendly
manner. We were also to minimize the plant’s utility requirements in an effort to increase its
sustainability.
The phosgene‐free pathway of producing TDI by reacting TDA, oxygen, and carbon
monoxide in the solvent, 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE), was introduced to us as an attractive
alternative to the common methods of producing TDI.

The overall reaction is:

A representation of this mechanism is presented below:

With further research we concluded that our process most likely includes a two‐step
mechanism. In the first step, TDA reacts with carbon monoxide, oxygen, and the solvent, TFE,
to produce the intermediate toluene dicarbamate. In the second step, the dicarbamate is

degraded to create the TDI product and the water byproduct. The TFE solvent is regenerated in
this step as well. It is important to note that the entire reaction mechanism is carried out in the
presence of N,N’‐(bis(3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐salicylidene)ethylenediamino)cobalt (II) [Co‐ tBu‐ Salen ]

Technology Development Summary
The traditional route for the manufacture of TDI starts with the nitration of toluene
using nitric acid to produce dinitrotoluene followed by catalytic hydrogenation to toluene
diamine. The toluene diamine is dissolved in an inert solvent and reacted with phosgene to
produce a crude TDI solution. Phosgene is made on‐site in a simple, single step process by
passing purified carbon monoxide and chlorine gas through a bed of highly porous carbon,
which acts as a catalyst. The subsequent separation and purification of the products of reaction
from the polymeric byproducts that are formed is a multi‐step process. The hydrogen chloride
that is produced as a byproduct of the reaction is recovered and sold either directly or in the
form of hydrochloric acid (HCl). On the flip side, HCl, which is produced in stoichiometric
amount as a by‐product, causes corrosion, and thus a stoichiometric amount of NaOH is
required to neutralize the HCl. (Serrano Fernandez et al, 2008)3
Even though this technology has been the basis of commercial isocyanate production for
many years, numerous attempts have been made to develop even lower cost, non
phosgenation processes to produce isocyanates. Furthermore, as restrictions upon the use of
very toxic materials such as phosgene within the chemical industry have become more
rigorously enforced, there has been increasing interest in developing alternative methods to
phosgene in the synthesis of isocyanate.
Bayer has developed a gas‐phase phosgenation (GPP) process for the production of TDI
from TDA. The main difference from conventional TDI processes is in the use of gas‐phase

reaction of TDA and phosgene, as opposed to these reactants being handled as dilute solutions
in a solvent such as ortho‐dichlorobenzene. The gas‐phase phosgenation technology results in
significant savings on solvents, leading to operating cost savings due to a reduction in energy
consumption required to process the much smaller volume of solvent during distillative
recovery. The much shorter residence time of TDA and phosgene in the reactor reduces the
required phosgene process inventory considerably. Further benefits are significantly greater
reactor throughput per unit time (space‐time yield) and the ability to downsize key plant
components. These size reductions, lead to additional investment cost savings. The gas‐phase
technology also provides improved reaction selectivity, generating fewer byproducts. This route
avoids the use of phosgene and waste recovery problems associated with HCl. Process safety is
vastly improved by the reduction in both phosgene and solvent inventories within the process.
A further safety enhancement is the ability to start up and shut down the gas‐phase process
quickly.
The most recent attempt is the EniChem Urethane Pyrolysis (Non‐Phosgene) Process:
Here, oxidative carbonylation of methanol is used to produce dimethyl carbonate (DMC). DMC
is then reacted with TDA to give a urethane intermediate which is then cracked at high
temperature and low pressure to give TDI. (Nexant, 2008)4
Existing processes and production facilities for producing the TDI mixture, in particular,
are subject to various constraints such as mass flow limitations, product yield, plant size and
energy consumption. Accordingly, there is continuing interest in improving the way that TDI is
produced.

Market and Competitive Analyses
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
21
Market and Competitive Analyses
TDI is often marketed as 80/20 and 65/35 mixtures of the 2,4 and 2,6 isomers
respectively. As one of the highly produced diisocyanates, TDI accounts for 34.1% of the global
isocyanate market in 2000 (ICIS, 2010)5. The main outlet for TDI is in the manufacture of
polyurethane (PU) flexible foams used in furniture, bedding, and automotive and airline seats.
This is achieved by the reaction of TDI with a polyol to produce the foam. Meanwhile,
polycarbonates are particularly valued for their optical clarity and impact resistance, and are
used in CD and DVD discs among many other applications.
Globally, flexible PU foams constitute by far the largest market for TDI, 88% of the
global demand (30% for transportation, 20% for furniture, 14% for carpet underlay, 11%
bedding, 5% packaging, and 8% for other foam uses). Rigid urethane foams come next,
contributing to 4% of the demand, followed by PU adhesives and sealants with 3%, PU coatings
and PU elastomers for another 3% and 2% respectively (ICIS, 2010).5
Polyurethane coatings are one of the fastest growing sectors of the paints and coatings
industry. Despite their relatively high cost, they are suitable for a range of high performance
applications due to their excellent durability, resistance to corrosion and abrasion, and
flexibility. Markets for PU coatings include automotive refinishing, wood finishes and high
performance anti‐corrosion coatings. On the other hand, PU elastomers are noted for their
toughness, flexibility, strength, abrasion resistance, shock absorbency and chemical resistance.

22
Because they are relatively expensive compared to most other elastomers, they are used in
more demanding applications such as automobile bumper covers and facias, industrial rollers,
sport soles and boots, and mechanical goods.
Today, the number of global TDI enterprises is over 30 with more than 40 sets of TDI
production lines, the total production capacity is 2.1 million tons per year and mainly located in
Asia, Europe and the United States. With most of TDI’s output going into the furniture and
automotive sectors, demand is sensitive to economic activity. With the economic downturn,
flexible PU foams demand has fallen in 2009 by between 5% and 20% in the US and western
Europe, according to US‐based consultants SRI. In stronger economies, the fall has been more
limited up to 5%. However, SRI expects demand for flexible foams will return to grow at 2.4%
per year through 2011 and 2‐4% per year up to 2013.
Currently, there are five major producers of TDI serving the global demand, namely
BASF, Bayer, Lyondell, Mitsui Chemicals, and Dow Chemicals. The current US TDI production
levels expressed in terms of capacity data for several producers are tabulated below.
Company Capacity (MM lbs per year)
BASF 350 Bayer 400 Dow 220
Total 970
Figure 2: Major producers’ TDI production capacity5
The demand for TDI is still on the increase today. Regionally, Asia contributes to the
fastest growth at around 8% per year. This is mainly due to a boom in China’s automobile and
construction sectors, which accounts for three‐quarters of TDI consumption. Automotive sales
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
23
in China passed the 10 million vehicles per year level in 2009 with sales up by 38% in 2009
compared to the previous year, according to the China Association of Automobile
Manufacturers. Moreover, various producers in China are also expanding their capacity. Bayer
MaterialScience is constructing a 250,000 metric tons TDI plant in Shanghai, while Gansu
Yinguang Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. and Hebei Cangzhou Dahua Co., Ltd. also have
expansion plans that are scheduled to come on stream in 2010. If these projects can be
completed on schedule, the demand for TDI in China is expected to be around 700,000 tons in
2010.6
Growth in the US itself is much lower than the world average and has been adversely
impacted by the slowdown in the economy. Flexible PU foams account for 88% of TDI demand
in the US with transportation, furniture, carpet and bedding markets being the main outlets.
The ailing US transportation industry accounts for nearly 22% of total PU consumption,
according to the American Chemistry Council. The demand, imports, and exports graph for TDI
in the US is provided in the graph below:

Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
24
Figure 3: TDI demand in USA shows a moderate increasing trend above7
Even with the overall recent decreasing demand trend, the TDI installed capacity is
barely sufficient to meet current US domestic demand and export volumes. Near‐term demand
increases will have to be addressed by an increase in imported material or decreasing the
amount exported. As there is no apparent relief in sight for energy and feedstock cost pressure,
pricing will likely remain at the current historical high level of US$1.90‐1.96 per pound,
according to ICIS. Thus, pricing the TDI to US$1.50 per pound as in our project will look very
promising, especially supported by the accelerated growth in automotive and transportation
industries.

Preliminary Process Synthesis
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart

Preliminary process synthesis
Raw materials and product specifications
The phosgene‐free route manufacture of 300 million pounds of TDI per year is a novel
process such that information regarding the kinetics, the effectiveness and the role of various
types of catalyst, solvent, and promoter are very limited. Therefore, the TDI synthesis is largely
based on the US patent invented by Fernandez et al, 2007. For this process, a reactant feed
consisting of TDA, oxygen and carbon monoxide is passed over a fixed bed of Schiff Base‐Type
Ligand Catalyst, Co‐tBu‐Salen. An organic solvent, 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE) and a promoter,
sodium iodide (NaI), are also charged throughout the reaction process to ensure the TDI overall
yield of 64% is achieved, as specified in the patent.
The amount required for each of the raw materials and the process enhancers are
derived from the laboratory‐scale ratio with several amendments for optimization modeled by
Aspen. The required ratios of the raw materials are tabulated below.
Table 1: The required ratio of raw materials per pound of TDI produced.
Raw Material: Unit: Required Ratio:
Toluene diamine lb 0.73 lb per lb of Toluene Diisocyanate Carbon monoxide lb 3.07 lb per lb of Toluene Diisocyanate Oxygen lb 0.18 lb per lb of Toluene Diisocyanate
The required amount of TFE and NaI are fixed for the entire process since they are not
consumed. As modeled by ASPEN, the respective amount of TFE and NaI needed are 1,115,835
pounds and 2,730 pounds for a total of 314 million pounds of TDI per year. The 5% excess of TDI

27
production works as a buffer considering possible polymeric formation throughout the
synthesis. In addition, the ratio of the carbon monoxide to oxygen in the vapor phase is
controlled to 49:1 to avoid explosion risk.
To improve the overall yield of TDI production and in turn reduce the production cost,
two major reactor system options are proposed.
Option 1:
A single 3‐loop pass reactor is assembled to improve the overall TDI production yield
from 64% (Fernandez, et al) to 97.2% (Aspen). The improved yield is expected to be maintained
as the operation reaches steady‐state. The process flow sheet for this scenario is presented in
Figure 4.
Option 2:
Two reactors are assembled such that the vapor product of the first reactor is mixed
with the recycle stream coming from the separation system. The focus is to use up as much TDA
and any intermediate products obtained from the first reactor. This process is presented in
Figure 5.

Figure 5: Option 2 ‐‐ Two‐reactor system detailed process flow sheet
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
31
The choice of the reactor system is made based on two main considerations:
1. Possible cost savings of TFE
Based on the discussion with Shaun Julian, an Account Manager in oils, greases,
waxes and chemicals department at Halocarbon Products Corporation, it is found that
the required amount of TFE in this project accounts for approximately 25% of the
current TFE global demand of 5 million pounds. In addition, the current cost of TFE is
approximately $12 per kilogram or $5.45 per pound. Thus, the TDI manufacture is
enormously sensitive to TFE requirement.
Comparing the amount of TFE of which the two options will consume using the
ASPEN flow sheet, option 1 will save 22,000 millions of TFE, which is equivalent to
$120,008.
2. Reactor size
The reactor system in option 1 is a considerably more complex assembly than
that in option 2 which only consists of two individual packed‐bed reactors. The following
is the figure of reactor system configuration in option 1.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
32
Figure 6: Three‐loop pass reactor system
As shown in Figure 6 the reactor system in option 1 consists of a holding vessel, a
packed bed reactor, a cooler, and a pump. In addition, there is a big trade‐off in
lowering the reactor’s residence time since the volume required is inversely related. Size
optimization by changing the volumetric flow rate passing through the reactor also
involves a large uncertainty in the effectiveness of the actual reactions take place. This is
due to the unavailability of the reaction kinetics data. Furthermore, the net work
required by the pump will be considerably increased and thus increasing the electricity
consumption.

Holding vessel

33
Assuming a base case of per pass residence time of 20 minutes of half‐full
reactor8, a 3‐loop pass reactor will cost $55,109,461, with a vessel diameter and length
of 135 ft and 67 ft respectively. On the other hand, the reactor system in option 2 costs
$19,041,059.23 with the second reactor only one‐third of the size of the first reactor.
Finally, there is no internal utility requirement involved. Appendix 1H contains the
detailed calculations on the reactor costing.
The summary of the incremental possible saving of option 2 is tabulated.
Table 2: Summary of incremental cost saving of reactor system in option 2
TFE saving Reactor price saving Utility requirement Total saving
Option 2 ($120,008.15) $36,068,401.73 None $35,948,393.58
Considering the profitability of the two potential designs described, option 2 is
significantly beneficial from business perspective. Furthermore, installing two smaller reactors
are more feasible than building one considerably bigger reactor.
Separation process and heat integration
Following the production of TDI, it is crucial to isolate the product as pure as possible to
be accepted in the market. The competitive minimum purity requirement in the market is
99.5%. (ICIS) To achieve successful separation, 3 distillation columns are proposed. The
separation trains with the details of isolated components are presented in Figure 7.
8 The US patent “One‐Step Catalytic Process for the Synthesis of Isocyanates” describes a reaction time ranges from 3 minutes to 3 hours. Due to the lack of relevant reaction kinetics data, the reaction time base case assumption is one hour.

Finally, to minimize the utility requirement and cost, and thus increase profitability, heat
integration process would also be conducted thoroughly.

Overall Process Description
The block flow diagram given by Figure 12 illustrates the flows to and from the key
sections of the phosgene‐free TDI production process. The conversion from TDA to TDI is
accomplished through a two‐step catalytic reaction carried out between 120°C and 180°C
(248°F – 356°F) and 5 – 100 bar (72.5psia ‐ 1450psia). There are two reactors in the process,
which work to maximize hourly yield. The reactors in this process are allowed to operate non
adiabatically with the feeds entering into the reactor at 120°C (248°F), the bottom of the
optimal temperature range, and there is a temperature increase to 139.3°C (282.8°F) in the first
reactor and a temperature increase to 137.5°C (279.5°F) in the second reactor. The first step in

the reaction involves the oxycarbonylation of TDA, which produces the corresponding isomeric
carbamates. The second step involves the decomposition of the carbamates into TDI. Both
steps of the reaction occur within one reactor and are facilitated by a Schiff Base‐Type Ligand
Catalyst that uses cobalt and is fixed to a silica bead solid support and a homogeneous
promoter, NaI, that stays completely in solution throughout the process. It is important to note
that the solvent used in this process ‐‐ 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE) ‐‐ is consumed in the first
step and regenerated in the second step. In addition to serving as a necessary intermediate
reactant, a significant amount of TFE is needed to maintain stoichiometric amounts of O2 and
CO in the liquid phase for reaction while keeping the O2 levels below the combustion limit. For
this reason, the mass fraction of TFE in the liquid feed to the reactor is very high. The other
components that comprise the liquid feed are NaI, TDA, recycled gases and recycled
carbamates. Fresh feed streams of gas phase O2 and CO are bubbled into the reactor to
saturate the solution.
The reactor effluent streams containing TDI, H2O, TFE, NaI, unreacted TDA, carbamates,
CO, and O2 are decompressed and either recycled back through one of the reactors or sent
through a train of three low pressure distillation columns for separation. In the first column, the
unused TDA and carbamates, as well as the NaI, are taken out as bottoms product and sent to
the second reactor. After the next separation step, the solvent and reactant gases are recycled
back to the reactor system, and the heavier wastewater and TDI are sent to the third and last
distillation column for separation.

Detailed Process Description
Figure 13 is a more comprehensive process flowsheet that gives a detailed view of the
equipment and flow streams involved in the TDI production process. There are effectively two
major sections of the process – the reaction section and the separation section. Throughout the
reaction section, all the streams and equipment are maintained at a high pressure,
approximately 653psia (45bar). The separation process section is maintained at low pressure,
with a slight pressure drop gradient over the three‐column distillation chain from 12psia to
9psia (0.83 to 0.62bar). The stream connecting the reaction section to the separation section is
decompressed by a valve, and the streams that gets recycled back from the separation section
to the reaction section is compressed by a pump. The valve safely separates the high pressure
half of the process from the low pressure half and it acts as a safeguard to make sure that if
something goes wrong in the high pressure half it can be isolated from the low pressure half. In
addition this allows all of the high pressure piping to be separated from the low pressure
piping.
The flowsheet in Figure 13 shows an open‐loop system, but is meant to model a closed‐
loop system. There are two recycle streams leaving the second reactor system which, in reality
would combine to form the total recycle to the first reactor. These streams are separated into
vapor (PSEUDVAP) and liquid (PSEUDLIQ). These streams consist of the combination of the
exits from the second reactor system and any reactant materials recovered from the
separations processes and not fed into the second reactor. Though it is not explicitly illustrated
in the flowsheet, PSEUDOVAP is mixed with the O2 and CO streams and then bubbled into R‐
100. PSEUDOLIQ will be mixed with the TDA and SOLVENT streams before entering R‐100 as a
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart

single liquid feed. Though it is not included in the process simulation, the system will also be
charged with a finite amount of promoter, NaI. The addition of NaI into the system flow would
not affect the thermodynamics significantly because the amount of NaI needed is negligible
relative to total flow. This chemical, however, is highly corrosive and will require most of the
reaction system and the first column of the separation system to be coated in Hastelloy® C276.
Since the salt is heavy, it should be completely contained within in the bottoms of the first
distillation column and recycled back to the reaction section.
Another caveat to Figue 13 is that the flash vessel R‐101 immediately following R‐100 is
not an actual piece of equipment in the production process, but merely a means of modeling
the vapor and liquid effluent from R‐100 as two separate streams. This is also the case for R‐102
and R‐103.
Two‐Reactor System
This process requires both a primary reactor (R‐100) that processes the bulk of the flow
through the system, with an inlet rate of 16145.3 lbmol/hr, and a secondary reactor (R‐102),
which is fed at a lower flow rate, 3673.04 lbmol/hr, but at a higher concentration of carbamates
and a comparable concentration of unreacted TDA. The vapor and liquid feeds into the first
reactor are heated to 120°C and compressed to a pressure of 45 bar. R‐100 is maintained at 45
bar (653 psia) and reaches a non‐adiabatic temperature of approximately 282.74°F, which is still
within the optimal temperature range for the reactions; therefore, it is unnecessary to cool the
reactor. The recycle stream of TDA, NaI and carbamates (S‐106) coming from D‐100 is filtered
for sludge (S‐108/SLUDGE) and compressed to 45 bar (653psia). This stream (S‐116) is then
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
52
mixed with a part of the compressed solvent recycle stream (S‐119), which is 28.0% of the total
solvent recycle stream. This combined stream (S‐121) is heated to 248°F and fed to R‐102.The
other split from stream S‐118 called S‐126 is combined with two other reactor streams to be
recycled to R‐100 as PSEUDLIQ. The given split fractions of the recycle streams were calculated
based on the amount of TFE needed to dissolve the O2 and CO in the vapor effluent and on the
cost‐ and yield‐optimal reactor size of the second reactor. The second reactor is also
maintained at 45 bar and increases to a temperature of 279.5°F. Both the liquid and vapor
effluent streams (S‐124 and S‐125) from R‐102 are mixed with the recycle streams from
separations that are subsequently fed R‐100 in the following manner. S‐125 is mixed with part
of the R‐100 liquid effluent (S‐126) and eventually fed back to R‐100 as PSEUDLIQ. PSEUDLIQ
will be mixed with the TDA and SOLVENT feed liquids and fed into the reactor as a single liquid
feed. S‐124 is mixed with part of the R‐100 vapor effluent, S‐127, and refed to R‐100 as
PSEUDVAP. PSEUDVAP will be mixed with the O2 and CO gas feeds prior to being fed to the
reactor as a single vapor feed which will be bubbled into the system.
Both reactors have an effective product yield of 64% (82% conversion from TDA to
carbamates, 78% conversion from carbamates to TDI). This particular reactor system design
was chosen over the number of considered alternatives because it is the most cost effective
with regard to yield and equipment cost. The streams fed into the first reactor are tabulated for
reference in Table 3. CO, O2, TDA and SOLVENT are supplied as fresh feeds or makeup streams
based on consumption or loss of the reactants elsewhere in the process.
With the exception of the vapor phase in the two reactors, all of the CO and O2 in the
system must be dissolved into the TFE, because in the gas phase it is necessary to maintain a
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
53
19:1 ratio of CO to O2 to remain outside of the explosion risk range. In order to maintain safe
gaseous concentrations, the reactors are initially charged with a CO and O2 mixture significantly
greater than the prescribed 19:1 ratio. During regular operation, CO and O2 are bubbled into
the reactor solution at only a little over a 2:1 ratio (2.39:1), the respective stoichiometric ratio
for the reaction. Because the gases are added just at or below their saturation point in the
solvent, the initial composition of the gas phase in the reactor does not decrease significantly.
However, as a preventative measure, it is still necessary to include a control feedback
mechanism that monitors the component concentrations in the vapor phase of the reactor and
controls the CO and O2 feed rates in response.
Separation Process
We will be running a somewhat “traditional” separations process by using distillation to
separate our final product, TDI, from the byproducts and any leftover reactants. To accomplish
the desired separations, the process required 3 distillation columns. The only stream entering
the separations from the reactors section is the bottoms liquid from the first reactor.
The stream connecting the reaction to the separation section, S‐104, must be
decompressed from 45bar to 0.345bar (653psia to 5psia), since all three distillation columns are
operating at very low pressures. D‐100 separates the TDA, carbamates, NaI and sludge out as
the heavy components in the bottoms product (S‐106) at a rate of 90.2 lbmol/hr. This stream is
then recompressed to 653psia and a side stream is taken out to remove sludge before being
recycled back to the reaction section. The flowsheet shows a splitter with an outgoing sludge
stream at a split fraction of 1% to model the estimated sludge removal necessary to prevent
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
54
buildup. As mentioned earlier, it is necessary for D‐100 to be coated in Hastelloy® C276 because
of the volume of NaI that will be flowing through it. The distillate (S‐109) from D‐100 is
compressed from 2psia to 12psia and heated from 35°F to 120°F before entering D‐101 for the
next separation step. The D‐101 distillate (S‐117) contains almost all (99.99%) of the solvent
that enters the separation system. This stream is compressed and recycled back to the reaction
system. The bottoms (S‐112) are fed straight into the third distillation column, D‐102. S‐112 is
almost purely TDI and wastewater. Wastewater comes out as distillate (WASTEWTR) at about
99.4% purity, with a negligible amount of TDI and trace amounts of TDA and solvent. This
wastewater stream will be stored and shipped to a treatment center to be disposed of as
outlined in EPA regulations discussed in the “Other Considerations” section of this report. The
bottoms product of D‐102 is 99.9% pure TDI at 352.2°F and 2.01psia. This final product is cooled
to 140°F and sent to storage.
A final note regarding the separations of our process is a black box design , not pictured
in the figure, which will contain a white film evaporator. The white film evaporator will be used
to dispose of the heavy polymeric sludge material produced in the first distillation column as a
result of processing TDI at such high temperatures. We assumed a loss of about 4‐6% of our
product due to this polymeric sludge waste. In response, we built in a 5% overproduction of
TDI to account for this unavoidable loss.

Energy Balance
One of the major concerns in this process was the amount of heating and cooling which
is needed, primarily in the three distillation columns. While it is known that distillation is both
energy intensive and an energetically inefficient process, it was still deemed the best separation
method to isolate the pure TDI.
One area where energy was managed to be saved was by operating the two reactors
non‐adiabatically. Each reactor system was modeled in aspen, and the non‐adiabatic
temperature rise was found for the entering composition of each reactor. According to the
patent, the reaction will occur between 212 F and 392 F, and it has an optimal temperature
range between 248 F and 356 F. Because the effect of operating in a non‐optimal temperature
range is unknown, the feed streams to the reactor were kept at 248 F, and the exit temperature
after a non‐adiabatic reaction was found to be 282.7 F for the first reactor and 279.5 F for the
second reactor. Since both of these temperatures were still in the optimal temperature range
for the reaction, it was chosen to operate the reactors non adiabatically and not spend energy
to maintain a constant temperature in the reactor. The first reactor would have required the
removal of over 44 MBtu per hour to maintain it at 248 F, and the second reactor would have
required the removal of over 8.8 MBtu per hour to maintain it at 248 F. This decision saved
roughly $150,000 in cooling water.

As seen in Table 6, there were still 5 streams that needed to be heated and 3 streams
that needed to be cooled. Table 7 shows that each of the three distillation columns had both a
condenser and a reboiler that require large amounts of energy. Stream S‐121 requires 20.6
MBtu per hour to heat the stream from 75 F to 248 F to preheat the liquid stream going into
the second reactor. Stream S‐110 requires 173.4 MBtu per hr to heat the stream from 35 F to
120 F to preheat the liquid stream entering the second distillation column. Stream S‐129
requires 78.5 MBtu per hour to heat the stream from 119 F to 248 F to preheat the liquid
recycle stream. Stream S‐131 requires 1.0 MBtu per hour to heat the stream from 106 F to 248
F to preheat the vapor stream entering the second reactor. Stream S‐130 requires 1.9 MBtu per
hour to heat the stream from 209 F to 248 F to preheat the vapor recycle stream. Stream S‐108
requires the removal of 28,000 Btu per hour to cool the stream from 521 F to 140 F to cool the
sludge stream to below the OSHA temperature limit for personal protection. Similarly, stream
S‐114 requires the removal of 3.2 MBtu per hour to cool the stream from 352 F to 140 F to cool
the TDI stream to below the OSHA temperature limit for personal protection. Stream S‐101
requires the removal of 49.5 MBtu per hour to cool the stream from 283 F to 100 F to cool the
vapor stream exiting the reactor to allow it to be flashed and separate the vapor components in
Table 6: Streams in reactor block that need to be heated or cooled

the stream, which are sent to the second reactor, from the liquid components which are then
recycled back to the first reactor.
The condenser on the first distillation column requires the removal of 729.9 MBtu per
hour and it needs to cool the stream from 203.1 F to 35 F as well as condense the stream. The
reboiler on the first distillation column requires 625.5 MBtu per hour and it heats the stream
from 465.8 F to 517.8 F before vaporizing the stream. The condenser on the second distillation
column requires the removal of 351.8 MBtu per hour to cool the stream from 93.2 F to 34.1 F
and then condense the stream. The reboiler on the second distillation column requires 182.9
MBtu per hour to heat the stream from 181.9 F to 200.7 F and then vaporize the stream. The
third distillation column has much more moderate energy requirements because it has a much
lower flow rate. The condenser on the column only requires the removal of 8.6 MBtu per hour
to cool the stream from 114.5 F to 101.7 F and then condense it. The reboiler on the third
distillation column requires 10.2 MBtu per hour to heat the stream from 264.4 F to 352.2 F and
then vaporize the stream. This comes to a total heating requirement of 1,094 MBtu per hour
and a total cooling requirement of 1,143.1 MBtu per hour.
Because this is an excessively high energy requirement, it is vital that cross stream heat
exchange be used as much as possible to minimize the utilities needs of the process. First, the
Table 7: Streams in separation block that need to be heated or cooled
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
59
streams that must be heated but are hotter than any of the streams that need to be cooled are
ruled out for cross stream heat exchange. By this process, S‐106 (the reboiler out stream from
the first distillation column) was ruled out. Similarly, any streams that need cooling but are
colder than the streams that need heating cannot be used for cross stream heat exchange.
Initially there are no values that match this description. After pairing up the stream two
separate heat exchanger networks were set up as shown by Table 8.
The first network, HX 1, involves 5 streams; the condenser of the first distillation column
is the hot stream for all four heat exchangers in the network, and it is paired with 4 streams
that need heating, S‐131, S‐129, S‐121, and S‐110. Originally S‐129 was placed first in the order,
because it has the highest initial temperature, but then no energy was available for stream S‐
131 because the hot stream would leave the first heat exchanger cooler than S‐131. Because of
this, S‐131 and S‐129 were changed in the order so that the most energy could be removed
from both streams. There is 661,000 Btu per hour exchanged over HX 1 – 1, 38.9 MBtu per
hour exchanged over HX 1 – 2, 4.6 MBtu per hour exchanged over HX 1 – 3, and 34.4 MBtu per
hour exchanged over HX 1 – 4. This means that 78.6 MBtu per hour is removed from the
condenser of the first distillation column. After the heat exchange, S‐131’s temperature is
201°F and it still needs
322,000 Btu per hour to be
reach 248 F. S‐129 is at
199 F and it still needs 39.6
MBtu per hour to be
heated to 248 F. S‐122 is at
Table 8: Energy saved per stream.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
60
120 F and still needs 16 MBtu per hour to be heated to 248 F, and S‐110 is at 96 F and requires
138.9 MBtu per hour to be heated to 120 F. The hot stream was lowered to 37 F, and it still
required 651.3 MBtu per hour to be removed for it to get down to 35 F and then condense the
stream.
The second network, HX 2, involves three streams; the stream in the reboiler of the
second distillation column is the cold stream for both heat exchangers, and it is paired with S‐
114 and S‐101 which are both hot streams that need cooling. S‐101 is placed first because it is
not as hot as S‐114. 32.5 MBtu per hour is exchanged over HX 2 – 1, and 2.3 MBtu per hour
over HX 2 – 2. This means that 34.8 MBtu per hour is put into the reboiler of the second
distillation column. After the heat exchangers, S‐101 is at 184 F and it still needs 17 MBtu per
hour to be removed for it to get to 100 F, and S‐114 is at 206 F and it still needs to remove 0.9
MBtu per hour to get to 140 F. The cold stream is raised to 204 F which is higher than its final
temperature should be, but it still needs 148.1 MBtu per hour to vaporize.
Some streams, such as S‐108,
were left out of the heat exchanger
network because the energy that they
would contribute to the network is so
little that the temperature change due to pressure drop over the exchanger would more than
offset the contribution of the stream. The remaining streams that were not included into the
network did not have a suitable partner. The total energy savings shown in Table 9 of 113.4
MBtu per hour in both cooling and heating represents 10.4% of the heating requirement and

9.9% of the cooling requirement. This means $240,000 is saved in cooling water and $3 million
in steam costs.
Other techniques to help lower the utility cost in the distillation columns are also
considered. One idea is to use two parallel distillation columns in place of the first distillation
column (because that is the column where most of the utility cost is). This alternative, however,
does not save any energy. It is in fact increases the cooling duty by 75% and it increases the
heating duty by 88%. These results can be seen in Table 10.

Utilities Requirements
Cooling water
Cooling water is required for all 6 streams that require cooling even after the heat
exchanger system as seen in Table 11. The condenser on the first distillation column requires
more than 20,000,000,000 gallons of cooling water per year, which costs $1.65 million per year.
The condenser on the second distillation column requires 11.1 billion gallons of cooling water
per year, which comes out to $891,156 per year. The condenser on the third distillation column
requires 273 million gallons of cooling water per year, which comes out to $21,858 per year.
The cooler C‐100 still requires 541 million gallons per year of cooling water which will cost
$43,259 yearly. The cooler C‐102 requires 28.5 million gallons per year of cooling water which
will cost $2,277 yearly. The last cooler, C‐101, only requires 883,000 gallons per year of cooling
water which will cost $71 a year.

Steam
The bottom of the first distillation column is so hot that steam cannot be used to heat it
up; instead a fired reboiler must be used. For this fired reboiler, fuel oil was used as the utility.
The second distillation column also benefits if it uses a fired reboiler rather than steam. Steam
is used for the heaters and the third distillation column reboiler as seen in Table 12. The third
distillation column can though use a steam reboiler, it will require 70.3 million pounds of low
pressure steam per year which will cost $224,799 every year. The heater H‐100 needs 1.11
billion pounds of low pressure steam per year, costing $3.5 million per year. H‐101 needs 175
million pounds of low pressure steam per year which will cost $558,794 a year. H‐102 needs
434 million pounds of low pressure steam per year which will cost $1.4 million a year. H‐103
requires 3.53 million pounds of low pressure steam per year which will cost $11,279 a year.
Finally H‐104 requires 20.4 million pounds of low pressure steam per year which will cost
$65,356 yearly.

Fuel Oil and Solid Waste
The first distillation
column’s fired reboiler will
use 2.81 billion gallons per
year of fuel oil which will
cost $4.5 million, and the
second distillation column’s
fired reboiler will use 987
million gallons per year of
fuel oil which will cost $1.6
million. 1.83 million pounds
of solid waste are produced
each year by this process
which means that there will
be a yearly cost of $195,558 to dump the waste in a landfill. The handling and transportation
cost is included as a percentage of the total fixed cost. These values are shown in Table 13 and
Table 14.

a pressure of 652.67 psi. It looks like in certain places you are using English units and in certain
places SI units (when you talked about the suitable temp for reactions). It would be better to
unify the units. The fixed bed is composed of the Co‐ tBu‐ Salen catalyst. The reactor is made
out of carbon steel with a ¼ inch Hastelloy C coating on the inside to prevent corrosion by the
NaI promoter. The reactor has a diameter of 35.92 ft and a length of 143.68 ft. Its bare module

Summary
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
136
Fixed‐Capital Investment Summary
The fixed costs for the TDI production process mainly include equipment and ship costs,
which have been discussed earlier in the previous section. There are also other costs which are
assumed to be driven by the total bare module costs, direct permanent investment and
depreciable capital. Table 16 below shows the total permanent investment assumptions and
the fixed‐capital investment summary of the project.
Table 16: Total permanent investment input assumptions Cost of Site Preparations: 5.00% of Total Bare Module Costs Cost of Service Facilities: 5.00% of Total Bare Module Costs
Allocated Costs for utility plants and related facilities:
$0
Cost of Contingencies and Contractor Fees: 10.00% of Direct Permanent Investment
Cost of Land: 2.00% of Total Depreciable Capital
Cost of Royalties: $0
Cost of Plant Start‐Up: 4.00% of Total Depreciable Capital
The cost of site preparations is assumed to be 5% of the total bare module costs. Since
the project will be carried out at the Gulf Coast area, we believe that the site already has an
existing integrated complex. That is, it is relatively unnecessary to undertake land surveys,
surface clearing, excavating and landscaping. Therefore, the 5% cost allocation would be
reasonable for this particular project.
The cost of service facilities includes utility lines, control rooms, laboratories for feed
and product testing, maintenance shops, and other buildings. According to Seider, et al, the
cost allocation of 5% would be adequate and relatively conservative. Furthermore, we did not
allocate any cost for utility plants and related facilities since the utilities will be purchased from
vendors.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
137
Moreover, we allocate 7% of direct permanent investment to the cost of contingencies
since the TDI production is a very typical industrial process. It does not involve tremendously
hazardous materials and waste. Thus, we do not expect a high probability of contingency in the
project. The other 3% cost allocation goes to the contractor fees, as suggested by Guthrie
(1969)11. The cost of land is also predicted as 2% of total depreciable capital. Finally, the cost of
plant start‐up should not be too expensive since our process does not involve highly novel
technology, such that the process and equipment are well known to skilled operators.
According to Seider, et al, the start‐up cost may be as low as 2%, but to remain conservative
with our assumptions, we chose 4% instead.
With all these assumptions, the calculated total fixed‐cost investments to be incurred
during the first year after the project start‐date are tabulated in Table 17. It is shown that the
total capital investment amounts to $105,569,294.

Operating Cost Summary
Variable costs
The main components for our variable costs include the raw materials, utility costs,
catalyst and promoter costs, and general expenses. The raw materials include TDA, oxygen,
carbon monoxide, and TFE makeup. The prices of the first three materials are given in the
problem statement. An estimate of $12 per kilogram for the price of TFE was suggested by one
of its suppliers, Halocarbon. Since we will be consuming approximately 1 million pounds of TFE,
which makes up 20% of the current global TFE demand, we assumed a bulk price of $9 per
kilogram or $4.08 per pound of TFE.
The utility prices are taken from Seider, et al, database, adjusted for 2010 $. The cost
breakdown for utilities is provided in Appendix 4.
The prices of the Co‐tBu‐Salen catalyst and the NaI promoter are relatively harder to
obtain. One of the project consultants, Mr. Gary Sawyer of Lyondell Chemical Company,
suggested that the catalyst price is mainly depends on the ligand used. Mr. Sawyer referred us
to a comparable catalyst ligand, AcetylAcetone (AcAc) of which the price ranges from $500 to
$6,000 per kilogram or $227 to $2,727 per pound. Thus, we made a base case assumption of
$3,000 per kilogram or $1,364 per pound for the price of Co‐tBu‐Salen catalyst. The price of the
NaI promoter is estimated from Mandev Enterprises, a wholesaler company from India.13
Finally, to be more conservative, we also took account for the possibilities that the catalyst and

the NaI being worn out and therefore need to be replaced. We assumed that the catalyst and
the NaI have to be replaced every 9 months and 6 months respectively as a base case.
The general expenses comprise of selling and transfer expenses, research expenses,
administrative expenses and management compensation. In an industry where technology
advancement is very crucial, it is reasonable to assume that the direct and allocated research
expenses should make up most of the costs. In our case, it makes up 41.6% of the total general
expenses.
Below is the tabulated summary of the annual variable costs which will be incurred
should we undertake the project.

From Table 19 and based on the amount of TDI produced per year, it is found that $1.27
variable costs will be incurred for every pound of TDI sold. Given the price of TDI of $1.50 per
pound, the project will have a profit margin of $0.23 per pound of TDI sold.
The breakdown of the total variable costs can be seen in the following figure.

The breakdown shows that the raw materials make up most of the variable costs, followed by
the general expenses, and utilities.

Fixed Costs
Fixed costs are independent of the amount of TDI produced annually. Table 20 shows
the summary of the annual fixed costs will be incurred for this project.

Comparing the fixed costs to the total variable costs, they are relatively low and
therefore not a major factor in the profitability of the project.

Cash Flow and Profitability Analysis
Project Economics
The feasibility and the profitability of the TDI production process are analyzed based on
several metrics, namely the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), return on
investment (ROI), and payback period. A discount rate of 15% is used to calculate the NPV, as
recommended by Seider, et al. The economic analysis summary based on assumptions on the
base, best, and worst case scenarios are tabulated below.

Based on the results above, it is satisfying to see that on the base case assumption, the
TDI production process is feasible and also profitable. In addition, the assumptions made in the
base case scenario are conservative. The raw materials’ prices have been discussed in the
earlier section. With regards to the reactor residence time, our assumptions are solely based on
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
147
the knowledge from the patent contributed by Fernandez, et al (2008), which mentions that the
reaction time ranges from 3 minutes to 3 hours. Due to the limited readily available kinetics
data on our particular reaction processes, the information from the patent is deemed
reasonable. The same argument applies to the usable lives of our catalyst and NaI promoter.
Thus, rough assumptions were made after getting approval from the project consultants.

Sensitivity Analysis
As the range of the profitability has been determined, more detailed economic analyses
are carried out to ensure the reliability of our recommendation. After careful analyses on the
key drivers of the TDI production process, there are several items through which our
recommended decision on the project may or may not change, namely:
TDI product price
Co‐tBu‐Salen catalyst price and lifespan
Reactor residence time

Product Price Inflation Rate
The table above shows that the positive NPV we have currently is very sensitive towards
the future product inflation rate and the TDI competitive price. If the global TDI demand is not
sustainable or keeps in decreasing trend, it is natural that the TDI product price may become
cheaper. In addition, the risk of deflation may also become more important. If this is the case,
then the project may not look attractive since NPV starts becoming negative right away.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
150
However, it is expected that the current decreasing trend in global TDI demand will
rebound soon after the economy recovers. In addition, TDI is one of the most important
materials in automotive and transport industries. These industries are growing really fast
especially in developing countries. For example, its demand in the giant economic driver, China,
has been showing promising trend. Even in the more developed countries like the US,
transportation and automotive industries are amongst the most sustainable. Thus, it is unlikely
that the TDI price will drop in the future, not to mention any great possibility of deflation.

The sensitivity table above shows a very wide range of the possible catalyst prices and
its lifespan. However, we are more interested in observing the data around our base case,
which are highlighted in blue. In this region, there is only one negative NPV data point, i.e.
when the catalyst lifespan is 2 months shorter than that in our base case and the price is about
$100 higher. Although we believe that our assumptions are fairly conservative, we would still
be uncertain since the profitability really depends on the specific properties of this particular
catalyst. As per current understanding, the project is recommended only if the catalyst’s
lifespan is at least 6 months with a price of less than $1,450 per lb. Further research on Co‐tBu‐
Salen is strongly recommended in order to come up with solid project recommendation.

Same as the previous section, it is rather difficult to decide whether the assumptions
made are valid when the kinetics and detailed reaction data are not available. However, from
the current knowledge that we have, the project is still profitable and thus should be
undertaken as long as the reaction time does not reach two hours. Again, further research on
the reaction kinetics needs to be carried out thoroughly.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
152
Other Economic Uncertainties
There are quite a number of economic uncertainties that need to be considered in this
project.
Raw Materials and TDI Product
As mentioned before, the price of the Co‐tBu‐Salen catalyst and any information
pertaining its kinetics, lifespan, and effectiveness in supporting the TDI formation reaction are
not readily available. In addition, the global TDI demand is currently fluctuating in various
regions. Thus, further economic research has to be done before deciding whether it is truly
worthwhile to start producing TDI through the phosgene‐free route.
Production Process
There are also some uncertainties that need to be account for during the production
process. Firstly, it is assumed that there are no polymeric materials formed during the TDI
production process even when the process machineries operate at high pressure. The
polymeric materials formation will reduce the total amount of TDI produced. Therefore, there
are possibilities that we need to account for the equipment to remove polymeric materials, i.e.
the whitefilm evaporator. Although we already have a 5% buffer on the amount of the TDI
produced per year, the uncertainties still exist and we do not have 100% confidence in how
much polymeric material may be formed.
In addition, we also assumed that any solid waste and wastewater produced in the
process are within the regulatory limits. This implies that we may need to account for waste
management costs that might possibly come up.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
153
Other Economic Uncertainties
Major economic uncertainties include changes in macroeconomic growth, changes in
raw material and product prices, government regulations, and supply‐ and demand‐ sides
technological advances related to TDI production process

154
Other Issues and Considerations
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
155
Other Issues and Considerations
Environmental Concerns:
In keeping up with EPA guidelines, the wastewater produced as a byproduct in the
reaction will be distilled to as high apurity as possible to prevent environmental contamination.
The EPA has produced guidelines for the treatment, storage, and transportation of industrial
wastewater. The federal government regulates the dumping of hazardous industrial
wastewater by requiring companies to apply for dumping permits. These permits are only
issued if the company wishing to dump can prove that their wastewater meets federal
standards of composition and that their waste will not contaminate the drinking water supply
or surface water in which there is a high risk for human contact. The EPA also regulates the
storage of wastewater. Wastewater storage tanks must be placed on special platforms or in
specially designated storage facilities. They must also be monitored continuously for cracking
and leaks. The transportation of wastewater to offsite water treatment/water disposal sites is
also highly regulated by federal law14. In all, these precautions are all important in preventing
accidental run off or leakage of industrial waste into the environment at large. The collection
and removal of the heavy sludge from the first distillation column are similarly regulated.
As one of our main project goals, an environmentally friendly process is highly
important to plant sustainability. In this regard, we plan to follow all federal and regional waste
14 EPA, “EMS Handbook for Wastewater Utilities”
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
156
storage and removal guidelines (EPA, OSHA, etc.) to prevent any of our hazardous materials
from entering and maliciously impacting the environment.
Plant Safety Concerns:
A primary concern in the design of this process is plant safety. Although phosgene is by
far the most hazardous component of alternative TDI production process designs, there are still
safety hazards in this design that need to be carefully monitored. The safety risk of greatest
concern is the ratio gaseous O2 to CO where both coexist in a gas phase. The areas of the
process to which this is relevant include the vapor phase in the two reactors and within the
piping that connects the vapor effluent streams to and from these reactors. The explosion risk
concentration range of CO in O2 at 392 F and 14.7 psi goes from 14.2% to 95.3%. It is therefore
necessary to keep a high ratio of CO:O2 in the gas phase; a ratio of at least 19:1 is
recommended. The process is designed not to come near the explosive risk range, however it
cannot be determined that all of the equipment will consistently operate to maintain the
concentrations at any given time. That is, although the average steady state may be well within
safety standards, deviations in operability may pose a threat. To account for this, there is one
control system for each reactor set in place to maintain this operation condition. The feedback
controller adjusts the CO and O2 feed valves in response to the relative concentrations of CO
and O2 in the reactor vapors. It is important to note here that a full scale control analysis for
this process is not in the scope of this project.
The high pressure reaction system poses another safety hazard. Pressure buildups and
leaks within the reactors and piping can lead to serious problems. Control valves should be
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
157
installed as necessary at various stages throughout the process to monitor and manage
unexpected pressure‐related issues. Control mechanisms measuring the oxygen concentration
inside the columns are extremely necessary because they operate at pressures lower than
atmospheric pressure. This means that if there is a leak in a column, air could enter the vessel
increasing the oxygen concentration in the vapor phase which could bring the vapor
composition into the explosion envelope. Obviously, this scenario could be extremely
dangerous.
As mentioned previously, the reaction section and first distillation column must be
coated in Hastelloy to prevent equipment corrosion. The reaction promoter, NaI, is highly
corrosive and can cause substantial damage to the equipment and piping without the coat of
highly corrosion resistant alloy. The Hastelloy coat significantly increases the equipment costs
but is absolutely necessary to prevent more costly damage. At this time, there is not enough
information about the role and properties of NaI within this process to develop control
measures to ensure that all of the NaI is contained within the designated equipment loops;
however that is a necessary course of investigation in the later stages of process development.
As far as chemical handling, the main materials that will be present in the process pose
moderate health risks. TFE is harmful if inhaled, absorbed through the skin, in contact with the
eyes or ingested (TFE MSDS). Workers must take care to avoid inhaling TFE fumes as this has
been proven to cause serious health problems over prolonged exposure. Most of the TFE
handling will be during the initial charge and recharges after downtime, since the solvent is not
consumed and is preserved to a high degree during separations.

TDA is highly poisonous and may be fatal if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the
skin (TDA MSDS). As with TFE, direct contact with TDA should be minimal as its only contact
point to the system is typically a steady feed. The amount of TDA used in our process must be
reported to the EPA because it exceeds the 10lb “reportable quantity” limit15.The handling and
disposal of quantities exceeding this limit falls under a regulation called Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA). Based on RCRA criteria, materials contaminated with TDA are
considered “hazardous waste” upon disposal. For this reason we will need to follow certain
storage, handling and disposal restrictions as outlined in the RCRA (TDA MSDS).
TDI is hazardous if ingested. TDI is also classified as an eye and skin irritant with a risk of
death if severe exposure occurs. Another safety concern arises in the storage of TDI. TDi is a
highly flammable substance at high temperature, and it must be stored in locations far away
from heat and any area in which it can be ignited (TDI MSDS). The amount of TDI produced in
our process must be reported to the EPA because it exceeds the 100lb “reportable quantity”
limit. Finally, a monitoring system must be put in place to test whether TDI stays below the
OSHA maximum of 0.02ppm in air15.
NaI, which should be present in much lower concentrations than the other components,
is an irritant and can cause complications if ingested, inhaled or absorbed by the skin (NaI
MSDS). However, this chemical will also be almost entirely contained within the system at all
times.
Oxygen gas is most hazardous due to combustion risk.

Carbon monoxide is highly toxic and particularly dangerous because it is hard to detect.
Monitors will be installed to prevent unknown exposure. For safety reasons, it is a priority that
both of these gases be handled very carefully.
Startup
The amount of solvent required to charge the reactor will need to be supplied in very
high volume. In fact, the amount of TFE required for this process will consume approximately
15‐20% of the current world’s supply. Because this requires such high volume of chemical
purchase, transport, and storage, the predicted costs for TFE supply are only approximate
estimates which are subject to change based on the method of transport, the equipment that
may be necessary for delivery of the solvent to the system and potential price shifts
corresponding to the significant increase in global demand.
Another exception during startup is the initial charge of CO and O2 gases in the reactor.
The initial charge must be conducted very carefully, since the explosion risk is active while the
system tries to equilibrate. To avoid this, the system will be initially charged to nearly full
pressure with CO, followed by the TFE and NaI charge and a small stream of O2 will be bubbled
up through the solution until the mole ratio of CO to O2 is about 120:1 (close to the steady state
ratio of (118.7:1). When operation begins, the CO and O2 fresh feeds will enter the reactor at
about a 2:1 ratio, and should be maintained safely since almost all of the fresh gas will be
dissolved into the solvent.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on the patent titled “One‐Step Catalytic Process for the Synthesis of Isocyanates”
contributed by Fernandez, et al in 2008, and several assumptions on relevant reaction kinetics,
an economically viable and technically feasible phosgene‐free TDI production process has been
designed. The design requires two reactors in order to consume as much reactants as possible
in each production cycle. This is particularly important especially because of the very expensive
TFE solvent of which currently we need about ¼ of the total world demand. As the TDI has been
formed, the product mix is passed through the distillation separation trains. The main focus in
the first distillation column is to isolate the NaI promoter since it is corrosive and requires
expensive hastelloy coating on every pipe and process units it flows through. The second
distillation column separates all the isocyanates at the bottom of the stage. The last distillation
column then isolates the wastewater. Unreacted materials, including the solvent, the catalyst
and the NaI promoter are recycled back to the reactors continuously.
Looking at the base case scenario results, it is apparent that our project results in a
positive NPV of $20,653,700, with an ROI of 12.03% and an IRR of 18.05%. The result is
satisfying remembering that the assumptions we made are conservative. However, the
feasibility also strongly depends on several moving parts like future economic outlook, which
will affect global TDI demand and thus its price, and other raw materials’ costs
Aside from the inherent economic risks like the health of our company, which is
assumed to be perfectly operational with no debt maturing in visibility projection, the actual
reaction process kinetics are very crucial piece of information. The amount of time required for
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
162
the reaction to complete will determine the size of our reactor and thus the investment costs.
The same applies to the important knowledge we need regarding the lifespan of the catalyst,
which will affect the variable costs every year.
Other risks are related to government regulatory limits on the atmospheric
concentrations of our chemicals throughout the production process. Based on the calculations
we get from the Aspen simulation model, the chemicals involved in the TDI production process
are not too hazardous and they do not exceed the amounts described in the government
regulations. However, we are still need to be ready should any unexpected circumstances arise.
Since the NPV of the base case scenario is positive and remembering the conservative
assumptions we made along with a reasonable payback period of 3 years, we recommend
undertaking this project. Not only the project looks promising, the fact that it is a novel process
that is phosgene‐free makes it even more attractive.
Even so, we still strongly recommend further detailed research on the reaction kinetics,
the catalyst and the promoter characteristics, as well as global economic research on TDI.
Further research needs to be conducted on the kinetics of the process, the exact role of the
catalyst and the promoter in the reactions and their effects on the TDI yield, and of course the
life span of the three components. The information would enable us to look for comparable
catalysts, solvents and promoters of similar roles as those we are currently using, and thus find
cheaper alternatives to drive down investment and variable costs each year.
In addition, it would be worthwhile to do more research on various other ways to
produce TDI in the current market. It would be great if we can reduce the number of distillation
we use. One way to do this may be by having a solid support to hold the NaI in one place
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
163
together with the catalyst beds. Therefore, we would not need to isolate NaI and transfer it to
the recycle stream back to the reactors, driving down hastelloy coating cost and more
importantly taking away one of the distillation columns used to isolate NaI. In addition, further
research needs to be done on other means of separation process which is crucial in this project.
Thus, until we are clear about all the uncertainties and the underlying assumptions that
we made, it is very difficult be properly confident about the feasibility of the TDI production
through a free phosgene‐route. Although we are still positive that TDI production process
described in this report is viable, looking at the nature of complexity of the project, which is
actually relatively conventional and not so difficult to setup by experienced contractors at the
Gulf Coast.

Acknowledgments:
Throughout the design process we have been provided with an abundant amount of
help from our faculty advisor, professors, industrial consultants, and industrial contacts.
Without their time, energy, and effort, this report would not have been. For this reason we
would like to thank Dr. Daeyeon Lee, Professor Leonard Fabiano, Dr. Warren Seider, Mr. Bruce
Vrana, Mr. Steve Tieri, Dr. E. Robert Becker, and Mr. Gary Sawyer for their help in our overall
process design, ASPEN modeling, and for help estimating prices for our exotic materials.
Professor Fabiano, with ample experience in real life TDI production processes, was especially
helpful in helping us modify, optimize, and troubleshoot our ASPEN flow sheet so that the specs
met the patent and real world standards as closely as possible. He spent several hours of his
own time with us in weekly meeting and at home in an effort to help us reach our goal of
creating an environmentally‐friendly process. Additionally, as the creator of the problem
statement, Mr. Bruce Vrana, DuPont, was extremely helpful in guiding us through the
intricacies of the phosgene‐free process for creating TDI from TDA. He also helped us to
develop adequate assumptions for process parameters and price estimates which were
paramount in the completion of this report.
In addition to our professors and consultants, we would like to thank the sales
representatives at for their price estimates and availability for industrial scale TFE which was
used as the basis for pricing the highly expensive solvent used in the process. The

166
representatives also provided us with estimates of the prices of competitive solvents which
ultimately led to our selection of TFE as our solvent.

Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
209
claimed under the provisions of 35 USC 119. The disclosure of said European Patent Application No. EP 06380178.1 is hereby incorporated herein byreference in its entirety, for all purposes. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is related to the direct conversion of amines into isocyanates, and to a catalytic chemical process for effecting such conversion to produce isocyanates. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Isocyanates are important chemicals. For example, the world production of isocyanates exceeded 5 megatons in 2001. Traditionally, isocyanates are manufactured on a commercial scale by reaction of phosgene with amines or amine salts. Thereaction, however, has several serious drawbacks. Phosgene is an extremely toxic reagent and a stoichiometric amount of HCl is produced as a by‐product. Furthermore, HCl causes serious corrosion, and a stoichiometric amount of NaOH is required toneutralize the HCl, where the same amount of NaCl is formed. As restrictions upon the use of very toxic materials such as phosgene within the chemical industry have become more rigorously enforced, there has been increasing interest in developingalternative methods to phosgene in the synthesis of isocyanate. As an alternative, the use of dimethyl carbonate or dimethyl sulfate as phosgene substitutes are relatively expensive for commercial applications (see M. Selva et. al., Tetrahedron Letters. 2002, 43 (7), 1217‐1219; JP 20044262835; WO 98/56758;WO 99/47493). Many others strategies for non‐phosgene routes, including reductive carbonylation and oxidative carbonylation by using CO as carbonyl source, have been reported. One promising alternative approach that has been the subject of research in recentyears involves the oxidative carbonylation of amines to carbamates in the presence of an alcohol, usually methanol, followed by catalytic decomposition of the carbamates to isocyanates. Alper and Hartstock (J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1141, 1985) disclose catalytic systems including palladium chloride, copper chloride and hydrochloric acid to produce carbamates from amines. This Wacker‐type catalytic system, consisting ofPdCl2‐‐CuCl.sub.2‐‐HCl, is disclosed as being effective at mild conditions (1 atm and room temperature) in the oxidative carbonylation of amines to produce high yields of carbamate. In this system carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) arebubbled through an alcohol to which is added PdCl2 and, finally, the amine. The mixture is stirred overnight, at room temperature and pressure, and filtered. The filtrate is subject to rotary evaporation. The resulting oil is treated with eitherdiethyl ether or acetone and filtered, and concentration of the filtrate yields the carbamate ester. Further purification is carried out by thin‐layer or column chromatography (silica gel). Gupte and Chaudhari, Journal of Catalysis, 114, 246‐258, 1988, studied the oxidative carbonylation of amines using a Pd/C‐‐NaI catalytic system. Although effective at producing carbamates, this catalytic system uses a CO/O2 molar ratio of5/1, which is inside the

210
flammability envelope. US 2002/0183541 employ a Group VIII metal catalyst and/or copper‐based catalyst with halide promoters to produce carbamate esters through heterogeneous oxidative carbonylation in a gas‐solid carbonylation process. The carbamate produced remainson the catalyst surface and must be recovered through expensive extraction and distillation steps. T. W. Leung, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Comm., 3, 1992, 205‐6 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,194,660 describes a process for producing carbamates, using a homogeneous catalyst that comprises contacting a first reactant selected from primary amine components,secondary amine components, urea components and mixtures thereof; carbon monoxide; at least one oxygen‐containing oxidizing agent, in the presence of catalyst composition comprising at least one metal macro‐cyclic complex, preferably in the furtherpresence of one iodine component. The macro‐cyclic complex is selected from the group consisting of metal porphyrin or metal phthalocyanine including a metal selected from the metals of group IIIa to Va and group VIII of the Periodic Table and at leastone iodine component is present in an amount effective to facilitate the formation of the carbamate. A. Bassoli et al., J. Mol. Catal. 1990, 60, 41 teaches the formation of ureas in good yields, with small amounts of carbamates and azo derivatives via the N,N‐bis(salicylidene)ethylenediaminocobalt(II)‐catalyzed oxidative carbonylation ofaromatic primary amines in methanol. E. Bolzacchini et al., J. Mol. Catal. A: Chemical, 111, 1996, 281‐287, describes the N,N‐bis(salicylidene)ethylenediaminocobalt(II)‐catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of substituted aromatic primary amines in methanol to give blends of ureas,isocyanates, carbamates and azoderivatives. Such blends are unsuitable for the synthesis of commercial isocyanates. Further, the long reaction times required (48 hours) precludes the practical industrial application of this approach. US Patent Application Publication 2003/0162995 describes a one‐pot synthesis of isocyanates by reaction of amines with dimethyl carbonate and subsequent heating to obtain the isocyanate. Due to reaction conditions, the separation of theisocyanate product involves a complicated separation process which comprises water addition, further heating, filtration and a number of distillations in order to obtain the isocyanate, in impure form, which then must be further purified. Therefore, there is an extensive literature regarding the production of isocyanates and polyisocyanates. The most commonly used procedure involves the transformation of an amine into the corresponding carbamate in a first step, followed by thethermal decomposition of the carbamate to obtain the desired isocyanate or polyisocyanate. A large number of prior publications refer to one of these two steps. For example, as mentioned above, U.S. Pat. No. 5,194,660 discloses a method for the
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
211
preparation of carbamates. However, the synthesis of the corresponding isocyanates is only suggested and only from the corresponding carbamates afterisolation. Further, according to U.S. Pat. No. 5,194,660 it is necessary to isolate the carbamate intermediate prior to its conversion into the desired isocyanate. Only a few references mention or suggest the possibility of direct transformation of amines into the corresponding isocyanates. However, as in US Patent Application Publication 2003/0162995, they usually require complicated separation steps. In view of all of the above, there is an existing need to provide an alternative cost‐effective and efficient method for the direct synthesis of isocyanates and polyisocyanates. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An efficient, safe and cost effective one‐pot process for the synthesis of isocyanate products has now been surprisingly found. The one‐pot catalytic process disclosed herein satisfies the need in the art for an industrially viable oxidative carbonylation process capable of producing isocyanate products, which at the same time does not require the isolation ofintermediate carbamates. Further, the process according to the present invention does not involve complicated separation steps. The isocyanate products are separated by means of distillation of the reaction mixture and, usually, the isocyanate product is obtained inessentially pure form. Further, the present invention overcomes to a large extent the hazards associated with the direct reaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen in the presence of organic compounds by dissolving the reactant gases in a reaction solvent (e.g. halocarbonsand/or oxygenated fluorinated hydrocarbons). Therefore, an aspect of the present invention is a one‐pot process for the synthesis of isocyanates, polyisocyanates or mixtures thereof, which comprises the steps of: i preparing a mixture comprising an amine, an alcohol, an oxygen‐containinggas, carbon monoxide, a metal complex catalyst selected from the group consisting of macrocyclic complex catalysts and cobalt Shiff base catalysts and a solvent, selected from the group consisting of aliphatic or aromatic halocarbons, perhalogenatedalcohols, halogenated ethers, halogenated ketones, perfluorinated hydrocarbons, polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene having the formula ‐‐(CF2‐‐CFCl)n wherein n is between 2 and 10, and mixtures thereof; ii subjecting the resulting mixture to afirst heating under pressure; iii cooling and depressurizing the mixture resulting from the previous step; and iv subjecting the mixture of the previous step to a second heating to separate out the isocyanate product from the mixture. Additional features, aspects and embodiments of the invention will be more fully apparent from the ensuing disclosure and appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is known that explosive concentration of carbon monoxide in oxygen at 200° C. and atmospheric pressure is between 14.2‐95.3%, thus, the range is extremely broad. It is also known that dilution of the gaseous mixture with an inert gaslike nitrogen scarcely changes the lower limit concentration. Further, variation of pressure between 1‐200 atmospheres and temperatures between 0‐200° C. have a modest effect on the explosive range. Furthermore, even when these reactants arebrought together in a ratio that, in homogeneous conditions, would be outside the flammability envelope, the establishment of homogeneity from pure components involves at least a temporary passage through the flammability envelope. For these reasons,the explosion risks associated with the direct contact of carbon monoxide and oxygen are not easily mitigated. Furthermore, unfortunately, carbon monoxide and oxygen are only slightly soluble in the alcohols used as solvents and reactants in the priorart, which limits the concentration of these two components in the reaction mixture and thus results in a lower speed of reaction. In the present invention the solvent is selected from the group of aliphatic or aromatic halocarbons, perhalogenated alcohols, halogenated ethers, halogenated ketones, perfluorinated hydrocarbons, polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene having theformula ‐‐(CF2‐‐CFCl)n wherein n is between 2 and 10, and mixtures thereof. These solvents possess high oxygen solubility and allow for a higher concentration of oxygen in reaction mixture at a given oxygen partial pressure. Therefore, byusing the solvents of the invention, it is possible to reduce the partial pressure of oxygen and still maintain an acceptable concentration of oxygen in the reaction mixture so that a good speed of reaction can be obtained and, at the same time, thesafety of the process is improved by working well outside the flammability envelope and in conditions of lower temperatures and pressures than those used in the prior art. Halocarbons are preferably aryl halocarbons such as chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene and trichlorobenzene, fluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons. Preferred reaction solvents are the completely fluorine‐substitutedC5‐C.sub.10 hydrocarbons such as perfluoro‐n‐hexane, perfluoro‐n‐heptane, perfluoro‐n‐nonane, perfluorodecaline or nonafluoro tertbutanol. These liquids are available under various trade names, such as 3M™ Performance Fluids (Minneapolis,Minn.). Polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene are also commercially available, such as the grade 0.8 of Halocarbon Product Corporation of USA. Those halocarbons can be added to the reaction mixture or at the outlet of the reactor to facilitate the workup of the mixture or to facilitate its cooling. The halocarbons and particularly fluorinated hydrocarbons are especially inert versus strong oxidizing agents, including oxygen, and dissolve gases readily. For example, it is known that solubility of oxygen in perfluoroalkanes is extremely high(Clark L. C. et al. Pure Appl. Chem., 1982, 54, 2383‐2406 and Marrucho, I. M., Fluid Phase Equilibria, 222‐223, 2004, 325‐330). This is the reason why the present process can use lower pressures to achieve the same concentrations of the reactive gasesin the liquid medium of reaction compared with the prior

art processes that produce carbamates, and easily avoids gaseous environment containing any explosive mixture of reactants above the liquid reaction system. According to a preferred embodiment, solvents are oxygenated fluorinated hydrocarbons (e.g. fluorinated alcohols and its blends with fluorinated ethers and/or ketones), where at least one alkyl hydrogen of the homologous oxygenate is substitutedfor fluorine. Preferred oxygenated fluorinated hydrocarbons include, without limitation, 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol, 2,2,3,3 ‐tetrafluoro‐1‐propanol, 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoropropan‐2‐ol, fluorophenols and mixtures thereof, preferably 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol. One preferred fluorinated ether is nonafluorobutyl methyl ether. One preferred fluorinated ketone is hexafluoroacetone. According to a most preferred embodiment, the preferred solvents can be defined on the basis of their oxygen solubility measured in molar fraction of oxygen in the solvent. Thus, preferred solvents are those falling within the oxygen solubilityrange of 10‐5 to 10‐1 (limits of the range included in this and in the next cases); more preferred solvents are those falling within the range 510‐5 to 510‐1; even more preferred solvents are those falling within the range 10‐4to 510‐2; finally, the most preferred solvents are those falling within the range 410‐4 to 710‐3 as, for example, perfluoro‐n‐hexane, perfluoro‐n‐heptane, perfluoro‐n‐nonane, perfluorodecaline, 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoropropan‐2‐ol and2,2,2‐tri‐fluoroetanol. In order to carry out the oxidative carbonylation, the presence of an alcohol is necessary since it acts as a reagent in the process of the invention. According to one preferred embodiment, such alcohol is a perhalogenated alcohol. As mentionedabove, perhalogenated alcohols are good oxygen solvents. Therefore, perhalogenated alcohols can be present in the mixture of step i. in more than stoichiometric amount, and at the same time act as both, as reactant and as (co)solvent. The feed and oxidizing agent can be dissolved in the reaction solvent in any order or fed simultaneously in separate streams to the reaction solvent. For example, it is possible to dissolve oxygen in the reaction solvent to saturation andsubsequently contact the resulting oxygen‐saturated reaction solvent with the aromatic amine, the catalyst and carbon monoxide in a tubular mixer. Using the reaction solvents described above, the carbon monoxide solubility is generally affected to onlya minor extent by the presence of oxygen in the reaction solvent. In a further embodiment, risk of gas‐phase contacting of reactants may also be eliminated by independently dissolving oxygen in the reaction solvent and carbon monoxide in the aromatic amine or polyamine. In this case, the dissolution steps maybe carried out, for example, in separated stirred tanks before mixing all the reagents. Thus, it is not necessary to dissolve all the reagents in the same reaction vessel or at the same time. It is certainly possible that the reaction solventcontaining previously dissolved reactants can be passed through a fixed bed of catalyst or reacted in a slurry reactor. In the latter case, mechanical agitation (e.g. stirring, shaking, vibrating, etc.) can be used to effect the contacting between thecatalyst and the reactants. It is also possible to use a liquid fluidized bed of catalyst, using a flow of gaseous carbon monoxide as described in "Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, Sixth edition", 1984

pages 4‐25, 4‐26, 20‐3 and 20‐58 to 20‐75. According to one embodiment, the temperature during the first heating is in a range of from 100 to 200° C., preferably from 120 to 180° C., and pressure is in a range of from 5 to 100 bar, preferably from 20 to 70 bar. Theseconditions assure an effective oxidative carbonylation. The reaction time can vary depending on the reaction system employed, catalyst and other reaction conditions chosen. A typical reaction time is in the range of from about one minute to about 3hours. According to a further embodiment, after the reaction mixture is cooled, the temperature during the second heating is in a range of from 50 to 240° in order to separate the solvent by distillation and recover the isocyanate product. Between step iii and iv an additional step comprising separating the catalyst from the reaction mixture may be optionally performed. According to a further embodiment, the separation of the solvent (step iv.) can be done through one, two or more, preferably two, consecutive distillation processes. Depending on the relative boiling points and nature of the isocyanate productand the solvents used, it is possible to directly obtain the isocyanate product by heating and subsequent distillation(s). Once the isocyanate product has been separated, without further treatment, the solvent may be recovered by a second subsequentdistillation(s) of the mixture resulting from the first distillation(s). If the boiling point of the solvent is lower than the boiling point of the isocyanate product, it is possible to carry out a first distillation(s) to recover the solvent, followedby separation of the isocyanate product. Other combinations will be apparent to the skilled person depending on the relative boiling points and nature of the isocyanate product and the solvents used. In any case, the solvent recovered may berecirculated for use in further reactions. According to a further embodiment, the first distillation(s) is carried out at a temperature in a range of from 50 to 180° C. and under a pressure in a range of from 0.1 to 10 bar, and the second distillation(s) is carried out at atemperature in a range of from 140 to 240° C. and under a pressure in a range of from 1 to 900 mbar. The condensation heat of the solvent from the first apparatus can be used for partially vaporizing solvent in the second apparatus. Recoveredreaction solvent that is generated by this separation is normally most economically returned to the reaction solvent phase of the reactor for further reactions. According to a further embodiment, prior to the second heating (step iv.), it is possible to add a cosolvent to the reaction mixture, for example, 1,2‐dichlorobenzene or 1,2,4‐trichlorobenzene. The addition of the cosolvent further facilitatesthe dissolution of the carbamate intermediate and the ulterior separation of the isocyanate product with higher purity. In this way, the work‐up of the reaction becomes easier. The raw isocyanates obtained, can be purified, if desired, in a column with a top pressure of from 1 to 950 mbar, preferably from 5 to 250 mbar, and a bottom temperature of 60‐250° C., with the pure isocyanates flow being withdrawn inliquid or gaseous form, preferably in a side‐stream of the column.

It has been found that the isocyanate products obtained following the process of the present invention are essentially pure and without the need of further purification. Therefore, the process of the present invention provides a simple way forthe industrial synthesis of isocyanate products without the need to isolate and/or purify intermediate products to achieve good yields and purity of isocyanates. The process according to the present invention can be carried out either batch‐wise or in a continuous process by removing continuously the reaction mixture from the reaction system while continuously feeding the reactants into the reactionsystem. According to one embodiment of the invention, the process is a continuous process wherein space velocity is in a range of from 20 to 40.000 h‐1 and the distilled solvent is recycled into the reaction. Suitable amines and polyamines to be converted into isocyanates according to the invention include substituted and unsubstituted aryl amines, for example, aniline, toluidine, 3,3'‐dimethyl‐4‐4'‐diphenylamine, phenylendiamines, toluendiamines,2‐4'‐ and 4,4'‐methylendianiline, sulfonyldianilines, thiodianilines, diaminodiphenylmethanes and higher homologs polyaminopolyphenylmethanes, m‐phenylenediamine, 1,5‐naphthylenediamine and the like, and mixtures thereof; and substituted andunsubstituted aryl diamines or higher functionality polyamines like toluendiamines, diaminodiphenylmethanes or polyaminopolyphenylmethanes or any mixture thereof. The metal of the catalyst according to the present invention preferably is a metal selected from the metals of Group VIII and more preferably the metal is cobalt. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the metal complex catalystis selected from a cobalt porphyrin of formula I ##STR00001## wherein R1 and R2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, cyano, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstitutedalkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl; or R1 and R2 together form a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkynyl,substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl; R3 is selected from hydrogen, cyano, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted orunsubstituted alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl; or a cobalt phthalocyanine of formula II ##STR00002## wherein R1 and R2 have the same meaning as in formula I; or a cobalt Shiff base catalyst of formula III ##STR00003## wherein R1 and R2 have the same meaning as in formula I; R4, R5, R6 and R7 are each independently selected from hydrogen, cyano, substituted or unsubstituted linear alkyl, substituted or unsubstitutedbranched alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, ‐‐O‐‐Si‐‐R10,

According to one preferred embodiment, R5 and R7 are each a C1‐C.sub.4‐alkoxy group. According to another preferred embodiment, R4, R5, R6 and R7 are each independently selected from a substituted or unsubstituted branched alkyl group. According to one preferred embodiment, the catalyst of the invention comprises a solid support. Catalyst supports can provide high surface area to disperse active catalyst components and immobilize the active catalyst components and allow aneasy recovery of the catalyst. When carbon monoxide, oxygen and the amine react on the catalyst surface, the reaction products migrate into the organic phase, from which isocyanate products can be recovered by conventional distillation. Useful supportsare well known in the art and may include, by way of non‐limiting example, activated carbon and/or clay, i.e., montmorillonite; polymer supports such as poly(styrene‐divinylbenzene), polystyrene, and polyimide; mesoporous materials such as zeolite,MCM‐41, ZSM‐5, HZSM‐5, ammonium ZSM‐5 and SBA‐15; and metal oxides such as gamma‐Al2O.sub.3, SiO2 and TiO2, and MgO, silica or inorganic refractory metal oxides. Such supported catalysts can be prepared by known methods. For example, Co‐clay can be prepared by anchoring the salen ligand in the interlayers of montmorillonite and subsequent complexation with cobalt acetate by the method described byChoudhari et al. (J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1987, 1505); the immobilization of Co‐salen derivatives on mesoporous silica gel and MCM‐41 by using grafting reactions, for example, according to I. C. Chisem et al., Chem. Commun. 1998, 1949; P. Sutra etal. Chem. Commun. 1996, p. 2485; X.‐G Zhou et al. Chem. Commun. 1999, 1789 or R. J. P. Corriu et al., J. Mater. Chem., 2002, 12, 1355‐1362 or by the method described in US Patent Application Publication 2005/0131252. Further, the process of the present invention can be carried out in the absence or in the presence of a promoter. According to one embodiment, the halide promoter can be selected from alkali metal halides, alkaline earth metal halides, oniumhalides, compounds capable of forming onium halides at the contacting conditions, oxo acids of halogen atom and their salts, organic halides and halogen molecules. Those compounds containing iodine are particularly preferred. These include KI, NaI,LiI, CsI, tetrabutylammonium iodine, tetraheptyl ammonium iodide, iodous acid, iodine and the like.

Filtration and further washing with absolute ethanol afforded the essentially pure Schiff base‐type ligand. The Schiff base‐type ligand obtained above is refluxed in an alcoholic solution together with an aqueous solution of Co(OAc)2. 4H2O under inert atmosphere. Although a crystalline precipitate immediately appeared, refluxing continuesfor about an hour. The precipitate obtained is filtered under vacuum, washed with water, ethanol and ether, and then dried under vacuum.

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a process for the production of urethanes (carbamic acid esters or carbamates). More specifically, it relates to a process in which primary amines are reacted with organic hydroxyl compounds and carbon monoxide in thepresence of an oxidizing agent and in the presence of a catalyst system. The catalyst system includes at least one noble metal or at least one noble metal compound, and a quinoid compound or compound capable of being converted into a quinoid compound. Generally, organic isocyanates are commercially produced by reacting the corresponding amine with phosgene. However, due to the high chlorine demand and the high energy costs involved in
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
228
the production of phosgene, considerable efforts have beenexerted to find a commercially workable method for producing organic isocyanates in which there is no need to use phosgene. In one such method, primary amines are reacted with carbon monoxide, organic hydroxyl compounds and an oxidizing agent (such asair or an organic nitro compound) to form the corresponding urethanes; the urethanes thus formed are then split into isocyanates and compounds containing hydroxyl groups. This phosgene‐free process for producing urethanes is described in GermanOffenlegungsschrift No. 2,910,132 and in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,908,251 (.dbd.EP‐OS No. 16346 or U.S. Ser. No. 125,394 filed Feb. 27, 1980). In the process described in German Offenlegunggschrift No. 2,908,251, primary amines arecatalytically oxycarbonylated by reaction with carbon monoxide, organic hydroxyl compounds, an oxidizing agent which is either molecular oxygen or a nitro compound and a catalyst. The disclosed catalyst is, from 1 to 5 weight % (based on the mixture asa whole,) of chloride‐containing, inorganic solids which are largely insoluble in the reaction mixture used in combination with a noble metal catalyst. This latter process, however, is disadvantageous in that the high content of chloride‐containingcompounds causes corrosion problems in the process apparatus. Additionally, the fact that the inorganic catalyst components are substantially insoluble seriously affects the commercial practicability of the known process. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for the production of urethanes from primary amines. It is another object of the present invention to provide a process for the production of urethanes from primary amines which does not require the use of phosgene. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a process for the production of urethanes from primary amines in which insoluble and/or corrosive catalysts need not be used. These and other objects which will be apparent to those skilled in the art are accomplished by reacting a primary amine with carbon monoxide and a compound having at least one hydroxyl group in the presence of an oxidizing agent and a catalystsystem. A suitable catalyst system includes a noble metal and/or noble metal compound of Group VIII b of the Periodic System of Elements and an oxidizing quinoid compound and/or a compound capable of being converted to an oxidizing quinoid compoundunder the reaction conditions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a process for the production of urethanes in which primary amines are reacted with carbon monoxide and compounds containing at least one hydroxyl group in the presence of oxidizing agents and a catalyst system. Appropriate catalyst systems contain at least one noble metal and/or noble metal compound from the Eighth Secondary Group of the Periodic System of Elements, and at least one oxidizing quinoid compound and/or at least one compound which may be convertedunder the reaction conditions into an oxidizing

quinoid compound. Primary amines which may be used in the practice of the present invention are any organic compounds containing at least one primary amino group, particularly primary amines containing at least one aliphatically, cycloaliphatically, aromaticallyor heterocyclically bound amino group which amines may optionally contain other functional groups. It is preferred to use aromatic or aliphatic monoamines or diamines, particularly monoamines which do not contain any oxidizable substituents other thanthe primary amino groups. The amines used in the practice of the present invention generally have a molecular weight in the range from 31 to 3000, preferably in the range from 31 to 400 and most preferably in the range from 31 to 200. Examples of suitable aromatic and heterocyclic amines include aniline, 1,2‐diaminobenzene, 1,4‐diaminobenzene, the isomeric chloroanilines, 3,4‐dichloroaniline, 4‐isopropyl aniline, p‐toluidine, chlorotoluidines, xylidines, alkoxy anilines,4‐pentachloroethyl aniline, 2‐nitroaniline, 3‐nitroaniline, 4‐nitroaniline, 2,3‐diaminotoluene, 2,4‐diaminotoluene, 2,6‐diaminotoluene, 2,5‐diaminotoluene, 3,4‐diaminotoluene, 3,5‐diaminotoluene, 2‐amino‐4‐nitrotoluene, 2‐amino‐3‐nitrotoluene,2‐amino‐5‐nitrotoluene, aminophenols, diaminoxylenes, aminonitroxylenes, aminonaphthalenes, aminoanthracenes, chloroaminobenzoic acids, chloroaminobenzoic acid esters, aminobenzene sulfonic acids, 4,4'‐diaminodiphenylmethane, 2,2'‐diaminodiphenylmethane,2,4‐diaminodiphenylmethane, tris‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐methane, aminopyridines, aminoquinolines, aminopyrroles, aminofurans, aminothiophenes and 2‐aminobenzothiazole. Examples of suitable cycloaliphatic primary amines are aminocyclobutane, aminocyclopentane, cyclohexylamine, 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane, 1,3‐diaminocyclohexane, 1,4‐diaminocyclohexane, bis‐(aminocyclohexyl)‐methanes andtris‐(aminocyclohexyl)‐methanes. Examples of appropriate aliphatic primary amines include: methylamine, ethylamine, 1‐propylamine, 2‐propylamine, 1‐butylamine, 2‐butylamine, isobutylamine, tert.‐butylamine, 1‐pentylamine, 1‐hexylamine, 1‐heptylamine, 1‐octylamine, 1‐decylamine,1‐dodecylamine, ethylene diamine, 1,2‐diamino‐propane, 1,3‐diaminopropane, diaminobutanes, diaminopentanes, diaminohexanes, diaminooctanes, diaminodecanes, benzylamine, bis‐(aminomethyl)‐cyclohexanes, bis‐(aminomethyl)‐benzene, .omega.‐aminocarboxylicacid esters, and .omega.‐aminocarboxylic acid nitriles. Particularly preferred primary amines are aromatic primary amines, such as aniline, substituted anilines, the isomeric diaminotoluenes and 4,4'‐diaminodiphenyl methane. Organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups which may be used in the practice of the present invention are any organic compounds which contain at least one alcoholically or phenolically bound hydroxyl group and which have a molecular weight inthe range from 32 to 2000 (preferably in the range from 32 to 300). Alcohols are the preferred hydroxy materials. Suitable alcohols include: any linear or branched monohydric or polyhydric alkanols or alkenols,
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
230
any monohydric or polyhydric cycloalkanols, cycloalkenols and aralkanols. Any alcohols containing inert substituents such as halogen atoms,sulfoxide groups, sulfone groups, carbonyl or carboxylic acid ester groups may also be used. Alcohols containing ether bridges are also suitable for the practice of the present invention. Examples of appropriate alcohols are: methanol, ethanol,n‐propanol, isopropanol, n‐butanol, n‐pentanol, n‐hexanol, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol, chloroethanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, glycerol, hexane triol and trimethylol propane. If an alcohol having a hydroxyl functionality greater than one is used, a monobasic amine should be used as the starting component in the process of the present invention. Conversely, if higher functionality amines are used, a monofunctionalhydroxyl compound should be used as a reactant. Monohydric aliphatic alcohols containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms are the preferred hydroxyl reactants in the process of the present invention. Phenols suitable for the practice of the present invention are those having a molecular weight in the range from 94 to 600, preferably in the range from 94 to 300. Examples of such phenols include: phenol, .alpha.‐naphthol, .beta.‐naphthol,anthranol, phenanthrol, hydroxybenzofurans and hydroxy quinolines. Polyhydric phenols such as dihydroxybenzenes, dihydroxy naphthalenes, 4,4'‐dihydroxy diphenylmethane, bisphenol A, pyrogallol and phloroglucinol may also be used. Any of theabove‐mentioned phenols containing inert substituents such as halogen atoms, sulfoxide groups, sulfone groups, carboxyl or carboxylic acid ester groups, nitro groups, alkyl groups, aryl groups, alkoxy groups and aroxy groups are also suitable. Particularly preferred phenols are phenol, the isomeric chlorophenols, bisphenol A, 2‐isopropoxy phenol and 7‐hydroxy‐2,2‐dimethyl‐2,3‐dihydrobenzofuran. In practicing the process of the present invention, the organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups should generally be used in quantities such that from 1 to 200 mols and preferably from 1 to 50 mols of hydroxyl groups are present for each molof primary amino group present in the reaction mixture. Since hydroxyl compounds which are liquid under the reaction conditions are generally used as reactants, when used in excess amounts these compounds may serve as the reaction medium (solvent) forthe process according to the invention. The carbon monoxide is generally used in a quantity such that between 1 and 30 mols of carbon monoxide are present for each mol of urethane to be produced, i.e. from 1 to 30 mols of carbon monoxide are generally used for each mol of primary aminogroups present in the reaction mixture. Molecular oxygen in pure form or in the form of a mixture with an inert gas (e.g. nitrogen or carbon dioxide) such as air, may be used as the oxidizing agent in the process of the present invention. In the presence of molecular oxygen, theoxycarbonylation reaction takes place in accordance with the following general equation: It is readily seen from this equation that 1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1/2 mol of oxygen are required for each urethane group formed. In general, molecular oxygen may be used in an
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
231
amount ranging from a substantially stoichiometric quantity toa 5‐fold excess (based on the amino groups to be reacted). However, where alcohols sensitive to oxidizing agents are used as reactants, it may be advisable to use the oxidizing agent (particularly oxygen) in a sub‐stoichiometric quantity (based on theamino groups to be reacted),i.e. in a quantity which corresponds to between 60 and 100% of the equivalent quantity required in accordance with the above equation. Use of less than stoichiometric quantities when oxidation‐sensitive alcohols are used isadvantageous because the decrease in yield of urethane attributable to undesirable oxidation reactions may be greater than the decrease which occurs when substoichiometric quantities of oxidizing agent are used. In addition, where a sub‐stoichiometricquantity of oxidizing agent, particularly oxygen, is used the reaction mixture will contain readily recoverable starting amine which may be re‐used in a subsequent reaction. However, when excess oxidizing agent is present in a reaction mixturecontaining such an oxidation‐sensitive alcohol, the alcohol will be destroyed by undesirable oxidation reactions and cannot be recovered. In addition to oxygen, other suitable oxidizing agents include any oxidizing, inorganic, largely ionic compounds (particularly salt‐like compounds) of metals in relatively high valency stages which metals may have several valency stages. Thenature of the anions in these compounds is not important. Appropriate anionic groups are chloride, bromide, hydroxide, sulfate, hydrogen sulfate, phosphate, nitrate and carbonate anions. These anions may be present singly or in combination with oneanother or in combination with oxyanions (i.e. anions in which oxygen is present). Similarly, organic counterions, for example carboxylate, sulfonate, phosphonate, alcoholate and phenolate ions may also be present as anions. The largely ionic compounds of metals having atomic numbers 22 to 29, 42, 47, 50, 51, 58, 74, 80 to 83 and 92 in high positive valency stages are particularly preferred inorganic oxidizing agents. Where inorganic oxidizing agents of this typeare used, it is desirable to select one which has a minimal corrosive effect and a certain solubility in the reaction mixture. Both the corrosion behavior and the solubility of the inorganic oxidizing agent may be favorably influenced by formation of acomplex of the oxidizing agent with the mixture of starting materials containing amino groups and/or with the organic constituents of the catalyst system. Where a largely ionic inorganic oxidizing agent is used, the oxycarbonylation reaction takes place in accordance with the following general equation: ##EQU1## In this equation, M.sup.n+ is a metal having an "n.sup.+ " oxidation state. In theoxycarbonylation reaction, this metal takes up "a" electrons. Where these largely ionic inorganic oxidizing agents are the only oxidizing agents used, they are generally employed in quantities such that from 2/a to 10/a gram equivalents (preferably from2/a to 3/a gram equivalents) of oxidizing inorganic compound are available in the reaction mixture for each mol of primary amino groups. Other oxidizing agents suitable to the practice of the present invention are quinoid organic compounds which, by virtue of their oxidation potential, are capable of oxidizing the amine under the reaction conditions. Quinoid organic compounds ofthis type include quinones, such as o‐benzoquinone, p‐benzoquinone, naphthoquinones, and anthraquinones in substituted or
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
232
unsubstituted form. Suitable substituents are electron‐attracting groups which increase the oxidation potential of the quinoidcompound, such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, cyano groups and halogen substituents either individually or in combination with one another. Where these quinoid oxidizing agents are exclusively used, they should generally be employed in quantitiessuch that at least one mol of quinoid structural units (i.e. where p‐benzoquinone is used, at least one mol of this quinone) is available for every mol of primary amino groups. In addition to these quinones, the quinoid compounds described hereinafteras suitable co‐catalysts may also be used as the quinoid compounds. Where quinoid oxidizing agents are used in the oxycarbonylation of the primary amines in accordance with the present invention, the reaction takes place as exemplyfied with the following equation: ##STR1## Where these quinoid oxidizing agents are used in the process of the present invention, they should preferably be employed in quantities ranging from the stoichiometric quantity corresponding to the above reaction equation to approximately 5 timesthe stoichiometric metric quantity and most preferably between 1 and 1.5 times the stoichiometric quantity. Where several of the above‐described oxidizing agents are simultaneously used, the quantity in which each is used may of course be reducedaccordingly. Where the ionic and/or quinoid oxidizing agents described above are exclusively used, any oxidation‐sensitive alcohols present are less likely to be destroyed by oxidation than where molecular oxygen is used. Accordingly, the ionic and/orquinoid oxidizing agents should not generally be used in substoichiometric quantities because this would only result in decreased yield. The process of the present invention is carried out in the presence of a catalyst system. Such a catalyst system contains (i) at least one noble metal and/or at least one noble metal compound of the Eighth Secondary Group of the Periodic Systemof Elements and (ii) at least one oxidizing quinoid compound and/or at least one compound which is capable of being converted into an oxidizing quinoid compound under the reaction conditions. Catalyst component (i) may be either a free noble metal of the Eighth Secondary Group of the Periodic System or a compound of one of these metals. These noble metals are particularly advantageous when used in the form of compounds soluble in thereaction mixture, such as chlorides, bromides, iodides, chlorocomplexes, bromocomplexes, iodocomplexes, acetates, acetyl acetonates and other soluble noble metal compounds. Preferred noble metals are palladium, ruthenium and rhodium. It is particularlypreferred to use palladium, particularly in the form of soluble palladium chloride or palladium acetate. Preferred concentrations for the catalyst component (i) are generally in the range from 3 to 1000 ppm and most preferably in the range from 5 to 100 ppm, expressed as noble metal and based on the reaction mixture as a whole, including any solventused. Although higher concentrations of noble metal may be used, such excess is uneconomical and does not further increase the yield of urethane.

233
Catalyst component (ii) is an oxidizing quinoid compound and/or a compound which is capable of being converted into an oxidizing quinoid compound under the reaction conditions. Quinoid compounds are compounds of the type described for example in"The Chemistry of the Quinoid Compounds", Part I and II (London, Wiley 1974, Editor: Patai) and frequently manufactured as dyes or dye precursors. In principle, catalyst component (ii) may be any quinoid compound of the type capable of oxidizing thenoble metal present in catalyst component (i) from the zero oxidation state to a positive oxidation state under the reaction conditions. Those quinoids which are capable of converting palladium, from the oxidation stage zero to the oxidation stage +2are particularly preferred. In addition to the above‐described quinoid compounds, compounds capable of being converted into such quinoid compounds, i.e. compounds which may be converted into a quinoid compound by an oxidation reaction (e.g. by the oxidizing agent used inthe process of the present invention) by solvolysis or by an elimination reaction, may also be used as catalyst component (ii). Suitable quinoid catalyst components (ii) are ortho‐ and para‐quinones, polynuclear quinones and heterocyclic quinones in substituted and unsubstituted form and also their imino, N‐alkyl‐ or N‐aryl‐imino derivatives. Specific examples of suchcompounds are: o‐tetrachlorobenzoquinone, p‐tetrachlorobenzoquinone, 2,5‐dichloro‐3,6‐dihydroxy‐p‐benzoquinone, 2‐chlorophenyl‐1,4‐benzoquinone, 2,3‐dichloronaphthoquinone, anthraquinone, 1‐chloroanthraquinone, 7‐chloro‐4‐hydroxy‐1,10‐anthraquinone,1‐nitroanthraquinone‐2‐carboxylic acid, 1,5‐dichloroanthraquinone, 1,8‐dichloroanthraquinone, 2,6‐dichloroanthraquinone, 1,4‐dihydroxy anthraquinone, acenaphthylene dione, 5,7‐dichloro‐1H‐indol‐2,3‐dione, indigo or 1,4‐dihydro‐2,3‐quinoxaline dione. Polymeric quinoid compounds of the type described for example by H. G. Cassidy and K. A. Kun in "Oxidation‐Reduction Polymers" (Polymer Reviews Vol. 11, Interscience Publ. New York 1965), are also suitable for use as catalyst component (ii). Preferred quinoid compounds are those substituted by one or more electron‐attracting substituents, such as chlorine, bromine, cyano, nitro, carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid groups. Such substituents increase the oxidation potential of thequinoid compound. Quinoid compounds which are particularly preferred as catalyst component (ii) are o‐tetrachlorobenzoquinone, p‐tetrachlorobenzoquinone, 2,5‐dichloro‐3,6‐dihydroxy‐p‐benzoquinone, 2,3‐dichloronaphthoquinone,7‐chloro‐4‐hydroxy‐1,10‐anthraquinone, 1,5‐dichloroanthraquinone and 1,8‐dichloroanthraquinone. Compounds which are readily converted to quinoid compounds suitable for use as catalyst component (ii) are, for example, ketals of the corresponding quinoid and also hydrogenated forms of those components, particularly the correspondinghydroquinones. Aromatic amines and polynuclear aromatic compounds which are substituted by sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, nitro or cyano groups or which already contain an oxy group in the ring system may be converted into quinoid catalyst component(ii) under the reaction conditions (e.g. by molecular

oxygen). Compounds which are readily converted to a quinoid which may be used as catalyst component (ii) in the present invention are the hydroquinones and ketals of the above‐mentioned quinones,4‐amino‐2‐(phenyl‐amino)‐benzene sulfonic acid, 5‐amino‐2‐((4‐chlorophenyl)‐amino)‐benzene sulfonic acid, 4,4'‐diamino‐(1,1'‐biphenyl)‐3,3'‐disulfonic acid, 2‐aminobenzene sulfonic acid and benzanthrone‐3‐carbonitrile. The catalyst component (ii) should generally be added to the reaction system in.a concentration from 0.1 wt. % to 5 wt. % and preferably in concentrations of from 0.5 to 3 wt. % (based on the total quantity of reaction mixture including anysolvent used). The quinoid compounds are capable of performing the dual function of oxidizing agent and catalyst component (ii). When used in this dual capacity, it is necessary to use larger quantities of the quinoid compound than specified above for quinoidsused only as an oxidizing agent. The catalyst component of the present invention may optionally contain certain metal compounds (iii) and/or tertiary amines (iv) as further components. The optional catalyst component (iii) may be a magnesium compound, particularly an inorganic or an organic salt of magnesium, or a compound of an element of the Third to Fifth Main Group and/or First to Eighth Secondary Group of the PeriodicSystem of Elements which is capable of undergoing a redox reaction under the reaction conditions. Compounds of metals with the atomic numbers 12, 22 to 29, 41, 47, 58 and 92 which are at least partly soluble in the reaction mixture are preferably usedas the optional catalyst component (iii). The most preferred catalyst components (iii) are the acetates, nitrates and chlorides of chromium, manganese, cobalt, copper, cerium or magnesium, which may be in the form of the hydrates or amine complexes ofthese metal salts. In conjunction with activating chlorides, (e.g. ammonium chlorides) it is also possible to use the oxides of these metals as catalyst component (iii). If catalyst component (iii) is used, it should generally be employed in an amountwhich is from one to ten times the required molar quantity (based on catalyst component (i)). In general, this means that catalyst component (iii) may be used in quantities of up to 0.1 wt. % (based on the total weight of the reaction mixture includingany solvent used). The optional catalyst component (iv) may be any tertiary amine which, in the catalyst system, performs the function of a complexing agent for the oxidized form of catalyst component (i). It is particularly advantageous to use a tertiary aminewhich is also capable of forming a complex with component (iii) in case the complexing effect of the starting compounds present in the reaction mixture is inadequate for this purpose. In principle, any tertiary amines, i.e. tertiary amines of the typecontaining aliphatically, cycloaliphatically, araliphatically and/or aromatically bound tertiary amino groups or tertiary amino groups forming part of a heterocyclic ring may be used in the practice of the present invention. Suitable tertiary aminesare, for example, triethyl amine, diisopropyl methyl amine, cyclohexyl diethyl amine, triphenyl amine, N,N‐diethyl aniline, N‐phenyl piperidine, pyridine, quinoline, 1,4‐diaza‐(2,2,2)‐bicyclooctane and pyrimidine. Preferred tertiary amines (iv) aretriethyl amine, N,N‐diethyl aniline and pyridine. The above‐mentioned tertiary amines may also be used in the form of metal salt complexes of catalyst

component (i) and optionally (iii). If catalyst component (i) and/or optionally (iii) is used in theoxide form, it is advantageous to use the tertiary amines in the form of hydrochlorides for the purpose of activating this (these) component(s). The optional catalyst component (iv) should be used in quantities of up to 10 wt. %, preferably from 0.5 to6 wt. % (based on the total quantity of reaction mixture including any solvent used). However, catalyst component (iv) may be used in larger quantities. The process of the present invention may be carried out in the presence or absence of a solvent. In general, the reactant organic hydroxyl compound preferably used in excess serves as solvent. However, it is also possible to use inert solventswhich may make up as much as 80 wt. % of the total reaction mixture. The quantity of solvent used, whether the hydroxyl compound used in excess or an inert solvent, should be such that the heat of reaction of the exothermic urethane‐forming reaction maybe dissipated without any unacceptable increase in temperature. In general, therefore, the process according to the invention is carried out using a concentration of amino compounds of from 5 to 50 wt. % and preferably from 5 to 20 wt. % (based on thetotal reaction mixture including the solvent). Suitable solvents are solvents which are inert both to the reaction components and to the catalyst system. Such solvents include aromatic, cycloaliphatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons which may optionally be halogen‐substituted, such as benzene,toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, trichlorobenzene, chloronaphthalene, cyclohexane, methyl cyclohexane, chlorocyclohexane, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane and similar compounds as wellas tertiary amines of the type described as catalyst component (iv). The reaction temperature should generally be in the range from 100 to about 300.degree. C., preferably in the range from 100 to 250.degree. C. and most preferably in the range from 140 to 220.degree. C. The pressure should be such that thepresence of a liquid phase is guaranteed. This pressure is generally in the range from 5 to 500 bars and preferably in the range from 30 to 300 bars. Depending upon the primary amine and hydroxy compound used, the reaction time required for a quantitative reaction ranges from a few minutes to several hours. The process according to the invention may be carried out continuously or in batches. It is advantageous to use a solvent in which the end product (urethane) is highly soluble. After the reaction medium has been relieved of pressure and cooledto between 50.degree. and 80.degree. C., catalyst components (i), (ii), (iii) and, in complexed form (iv) (if it has been used) are substantially or completely precipitated in numerous solvents. In some cases, it is advantageous to concentrate thereaction mixture to between 70 and 50% of its original volume to precipitate the catalyst mixture. The catalyst mixture may then be separated off from the urethane‐containing solution by filtration or centrifugation. The thus‐recovered catalystcomponents (i), (ii), (iii) and, optionally, (iv) may be recycled in most cases even though they may be chemically modified. The urethane may be separated from the filtrate by

236
techniques known to those in the art such as evaporating the solvent. Theproduct urethane may be purified for example by vacuum distillation or by crystallization. The product urethane may be similarly treated where salt‐like inorganic oxidizing agents or quinone‐like oxidizing agents are used. The oxidizing agent obtainedin reduced form after the reaction has been completed contains substantial amounts of catalyst components (i), (ii) and (iii). This oxidizing agent may be reoxidized and recycled along with these catalyst components to the reaction chamber. The end products (urethanes) of the present invention are suitable for use as pesticides or as intermediate products in the production of pesticides. However, these urethanes are of primary interest as starting materials for producing theisocyanates on which they are based. Production of such isocyanates is carried out in known manner by thermal dissociation of the urethanes of the present invention. The process according to the invention is illustrated by the following Examples although this invention is in no way limited to the conditions disclosed in these Examples. The urethane yields are based in each case on the amine used and aregiven in terms of mol percent. EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1 (Comparison Example: No catalyst component (ii)) 474 g of a mixture having the following composition were introduced into an enamelled 1.3‐liter fine‐steel autoclave: 42 ppm of palladium acetate, 211 ppm of copper (II) acetate monohydrate, 91.4 wt. % ethanol and 8.6 wt. % aniline. 100 bars ofcarbon monoxide and 25 bars of air were then introduced into the autoclave at room temperature. The contents of the autoclave were then heated with stirring to 180.degree. C. and left to react for 1 hour at that temperature. After cooling to roomtemperature, the autoclave was vented and a second similar reaction phase was carried out with a fresh CO/air mixture. A total of approximately 1.4 oxidation equivalents (based on aniline) were introduced in the form of atmospheric oxygen. Analysis ofthe liquid reaction mixture by gas chromatography showed that the yield of phenyl urethane was 4.5 mol %, based on the aniline used. EXAMPLES 2 TO 9 These Examples demonstrate the catalytic activity of catalyst component (ii). In Examples 2 to 6, catalyst component (ii) was a quinoid compound and in Examples 7 to 9, it was the preliminary state of a quinoid compound. The procedure was thesame as that described in Example 1, with the exception that 483 g of a mixture of the following composition was used: 41 ppm of palladium acetate, 207 ppm of copper (II) acetate monohydrate, 1.8 wt. % catalyst component (ii), 89.8 wt. % ethanol and 8.4wt. % aniline. The results are set out in Table 1.

Section 3 : HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview: Oxygen gas is colorless, odorless, non-toxic cryogenic liquid or colorless, odorless, oxidizing gas. Liquid releases will quickly vaporize to gas.
The chief physical hazard associated with releases of the gas is its oxidizing power which can greatly accelerate the burning rate for both common and exotic combustible materials. Emergency personnel must practice extreme caution when approaching oxygen releases because of the potential for intense fire.
The primary health hazard at atmospheric pressure is respiratory system irritation after exposure to high oxygen concentrations. Maintain oxygen levels in air above 19.5% and below 23.5%. While up to 50% oxygen can be breathed for more than 24 hours without adverse effects, high concentrations in open air accelerate combustion and increase the risk of fire and explosion of combustible or flammable materials.
Route of entry: Inhalation, skin and eye contact.
Effects of acute exposure
Eye contact: No adverse effects expected.
Skin contact: No adverse effects expected. .
Inhalation: May cause breathing difficulty.
Prolonged exposure to high oxygen levels (>75%) can cause central nervous system depression: signs/symptoms can include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, poor coordination, slowed reaction time, slurred speech, giddiness and unconsciousness.
May cause coughing and chest pain.
May cause lung damage.
May cause soreness of the throat.
Ingestion: Not a likely route of exposure.

Product Safety Summary Toluene Diamine This Product Safety Summary is intended to provide a general overview of the chemical substance. The information on the Summary is basic information and is not intended to provide emergency response information, medical information or treatment information. The summary should not be used to provide in-depth safety and health information. In-depth safety and health information can be found on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemical substance. Chemical Identity Abbreviation: TDA CAS Number : 25376-45-8 . Common Names: Diaminotoluene Toluenediamine isomers Methylphenylene diamine Tolyenediamine Product Overview
Pure toluene diamine is a highly poisonous, colorless solid which turns dark upon exposure to air. A majority of TDA produced in the United States is used as an 80% 2,4- and 20% 2,6toluenediamnine
mixture to make toluene diisocyanate (TDI). A smaller amount is also made from a mixture of 65% 2,4- and 35% 2,6-toluenediamine. Some isolated 2,4toluenediamine is used to produce pure 2,4-TDI. 2,4 is also used to make about 60 dyes, of which 28 are believed to be commercially significant. Other uses of TDA include enhancement of thermal stability in polyamides, fatigue resistance and dye ability in fibers, and the preparation of impact resistant resins, polyimides with superior wire coating properties, benzimidazolethiols (antioxidants), hydraulic fluids, urethane foams, fungicide stabilizers, and sensitizers for explosives.
May be fatal if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin. Causes irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Combustible solid or liquid when heated. May cause methemoglobinemia. Affects blood, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, liver and kidneys.
No airborne limits have been established for toluene diamine in the work environment. For further safety and health information, the current Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be used for this substance. Physical/Chemical Properties
TDA is a colorless solid which darkens on exposure to light or air. It has a weak amine or fish like odor. The specific gravity of TDA is 1.05 and is denser than water. TDA is soluble in water . The boiling
point of TDA is 292C and the melting point is approximately 99C. The flash point of TDA is 149C, by the Tag Closed cup method.

Health Information TDA is a potentially hazardous material. A through knowledge of potential dangers, with strict adherence to recommended safety practices, is essential before aniline products are handled, stored or used. Workers must be properly instructed and supervised in the handling of TDA. No limits have been established for allowable concentrations in the work environment. The skin is a known route of exposure. TDA is listed as a category 2 carcinogen. Effects on the Respiratory System: Exposures to mists or dust can produce eye, nose or lung irritation. The hot liquid may cause severe skin burns. Symptoms may include bluish discoloration of lips and tongue, severe headache, nausea, confusion, dizziness, shock, respiratory paralysis, death. TDA affects the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. The effects may be delayed. Effects on the Skin: TDA may be absorbed through the skin. Symptoms of skin absorption parallel those from inhalation exposure. May cause skin irritation and local contact may cause dermatitis.
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
384
Effects on the Eyes: TDA vapor or dust is an eye irritant. May cause tearing and blurred vision. Splashes may cause corneal damage. Effects of Ingestion: TDA is toxic. Symptoms of ingestion parallel those of inhalation exposure. Chronic Hazards: TDA is a blood toxin, causing hemoglobin to convert to methemoglobin, resulting in cyanosis. Lengthy or repeated exposures may result in decreased appetite, anemia, weight loss, nervous system affects, and kidney, liver and bone marrow damage. Any exposure may cause an allergic skin reaction. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. May cause genetic damage in humans. Environmental Information Do not wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled material into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dust generation. Then remove to a safe place. Do not let TDA enter the environment. TDA is expected to be very toxic to terrestrial and aquatic life. A variety of federal, state and local regulations govern the release of any material to the land, air or surface waters. Any release or discharge of TDA must be evaluated in reference to these regulations to determine appropriate response actions and reporting requirements. TDA is one of the chemicals for which releases to all environmental media must be annually reported. TDA has a reportable quantity (RQ) of 10 pounds per CERCLA. A regulation called Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) must be followed if a volume of TDA or material contaminated with TDA is to be disposed of or discarded. Based on RCRA criteria, aniline or materials contaminated with TDA will likely be considered a “Hazardous Waste” upon disposal and will need to follow certain storage, handling and disposal restrictions as outlined in RCRA. Strict adherence to these restrictions as well as proper characterization and labeling of the material is the responsibility of the generator and handler of the waste material.
Date: November 15, 2008 Page: 2 of 5
Emphasis should be placed on the prevention of releases through careful design of equipment and sound operating procedures. If TDA is lost from containment through a leak or spill, care should be taken to use the proper personal protective equipment, decontamination procedures and other safety considerations. It is important to remember that spills of TDA and materials contaminated by TDA must be handled as RCRA hazardous wastes (U221). Any release of TDA greater than the “reportable quantity”, 10 pounds ,designated by the EPA in CERCLA or SARA should be reported immediately on discovery to the National Response Center and State Emergency Response Agency (see current MSDS for reportable quantity and pertinent phone numbers). In the event of accidental spillage of TDA to surface waters or to a municipal water system, contact the local and state pollution control agencies immediately. Additional Hazard Information Protect containers against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be no smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation. Containers may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors/liquids); observe all warnings and precaution listed for TDA. Exposure Potential Although potential for exposure does exist during TDA manufacture, transportation and use, enclosed systems limit the exposure to worker populations and nearby communities. Exposure to the general public may occur in accidental situations. TDA is not intended for the general use by the general public. TDA vapor or dust has a fish like odor which should not be used for early detection of any potential release. If you smell TDA, you are over the recommended exposure. TDA should only be handled by knowledgeable, well-trained personnel who thoroughly understand the hazards associated with the transportation, storage and use of the chemical. Workplace exposure should be limited by the use of engineering controls. TDA vapors and dusts must be monitored and controlled below applicable regulatory limits. TDA should be processed within a closed
Phosgene‐Free Route to Toluene Diisocyanate Bou‐Saba, Dizon, Kasih, Stewart
385
system. Worker exposure can potentially happen from leaks in piping system, during repair or replacement of the piping system or during removal of a sample for quality control purposes. Regulations involving hazardous chemicals are continually evolving and thus exposure guidelines are reviewed regularly and modified whenever new information dictates a change. It is important that all companies handling aniline are aware of the current legislative requirements. The guidelines established by OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH and others, represent current thinking and are believed to be conservative and protective of occupational workers. There is not guarantee of absolute safety.
Date: November 15, 2008 Page: 3 of 5
Risk Management The potential hazards associated with TDA can be avoided if workers are adequately instructed in supervised on the proper procedures of handling TDA. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be selected based on the potential for exposure to particular chemical(s), and the unique properties of that chemical. In general, PPE is not an adequate substitute for appropriate workplace controls (such as ventilation), or other safe work practices. There may be situations when the only practical means of preventing employee exposure is through the effective use of PPE. When PPE is provided to employees, they must be trained in how, where, when, and why the equipment should be used. The facility must also have provisions for decontaminating and replacing such equipment as necessary. Eye protection in the form of chemical splash goggles should be worn to prevent TDA from accidentally splashing in an employee’s eye. Goggles should be non-vented, and designed specifically to protect against chemical splash. If an employee wears corrective lenses, chemical goggles should be worn over the lenses. Contact lenses are not recommended for use in areas where there is a potential for exposure to aniline. Corrosive vapors or dust can collect behind contact lenses and may cause severe damage to the eye and/or cause the contact lenses to adhere to the eyes. Skin protection may be found in many forms. Hand protection such as chemical resistant gloves, protective arm sleeves, aprons, full body coveralls, boots, and head coverings are among the types available. Skin protection must be made of a material impervious to TDA. Personal protective equipment should be selected on the basis of potential exposure, e.g., gloves may be required for sample collection while full body clothing including gloves, boot covers, head covering may be necessary for spill clean-up. Skin protection for the purpose of preventing chemical exposure may be worn in conjunction with other types of PPE. For example, steel toe safety shoes may be required to prevent a person’s foot from being crushed, but an additional boot cover may be required to prevent TDA permeation into the safety shoe. Skin protection PPE is available in a variety of sizes, and should be available in a size that fits the employee wearing it. Improperly sized PPE may compromise its effectiveness and create additional safety hazards. When skin protection PPE is used, there must be a means of cleaning or disposal/replacement of the PPE. Respiratory protection is available in two basic varieties, air purifying, and air supplied. In general, air purifying respirators provide less protection than air supplied respirators. Both types, however, have their particular advantages and limitations. The appropriate type of respirator must be selected to provide the appropriate level of protection for the anticipated degree of exposure to airborne aniline (vapor or mist). Detailed guidance for the selection of respiratory protection can be found in The American National Standards Institute Document Z88.2. Respiratory protective equipment should be approved by NIOSH. It must be carefully maintained, inspected, and cleaned. All employees required to wear respiratory protection must be medically cleared to do so (this ensures their physical capability to wear a respirator) and trained to use and care for the equipment. OSHA requirements for respiratory protection can be found in 29 CFR 1910.134. Properly designed emergency showers and eyewash fountains should be placed in convenient locations wherever acrylic acid is used. All employees should know the location and operation of this equipment. All equipment must be frequently inspected to make sure they are in proper working condition.

areas and emergency exits. Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 130oF (54oC). Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a "first in-first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders being stored for excessive periods of time. PRODUCT NAME: PHOSGENE MSDS: G-67 Revised: 6/7/96 Page 4 of 7 Use only in well-ventilated areas. Valve protection caps and valve outlet threaded plugs must remain in place unless container is secured with valve outlet piped to use point. Do not drag, slide or roll cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a pressure reducing regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure (less than 75 psig) piping or systems. Do not heat cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the cylinder. Use a check valve or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow into the cylinder. For additional storage and handling recommendations, consult Compressed Gas Association’s Pamphlet P-1. Never carry a compressed gas cylinder or a container of a gas in cryogenic liquid form in an enclosed space such as a car trunk, van or station wagon. A leak can result in a fire, explosion, asphyxiation or a toxic exposure. 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection EXPOSURE LIMITS1: INGREDIENT % VOLUME PEL-OSHA2 TLV-ACGIH3 LD50 or LC50
